Great fun, Great acting. But alternative facts.

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2018)

So you want blue collar? You want drama? How 'bout a family where Dad's a welder, who works two jobs so that his blue collar daughter can have the money for skating lessons? How 'bout her "best Christmas ever," when her two brothers get hockey sticks and so does she? How 'bout her mom being legally blind, and never really able to see her skate. And how 'bout her brother getting into a fistfight with her Dad, and he dies of a heart attack?
Nope. Not Tonya. Nancy Kerrigan.
Tonya wasn't blackballed because she was poor. She was blackballed because she was trailer trash. And the pecksniffians who run the figure skating racket didn't want any WWE story lines, even though the dramas were certainly ratings boosters.
Of course, like any WWE story line, you gotta have a heel, and Tonya and her friends in the Axis of Evil are the perfect heels. And, like WWE, a lot of this is kayfabe.
The movie is great fun. The acting is world class, and Allison Janney seems to be a lock for Best Supporting Actress. This flick is like watching two hours of a car crash. You know what's coming, but you can't take your eyes off it.
It nails the landing, especially the end.
