On thin ice

Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2018)

I, Tonya is a darkly comic biopic of Tonya Harding. Raised by a domineering mother, later married to an abusive and idiotic husband.
Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie) from the wrong side of the tracks through determination and skill becomes a champion skater in America. She could have achieved more but the film makes clear that Tonya herself is to blame for her shortcomings.
The second half of the film loses focus, ironically as it concentrates on the incident with Nancy Kerrigan that have Harding notoriety.
Great performances from Alison Janney and Margot Robbie but the script needed to be crisper.
