Interesting film but....

Rating: 4/10 (4 March 2018)

.....is nothing in TH's life her own fault? Her mother is a demon - but as a young girl she says she loves her mother and not her father (who appears to be quite decent). Her husband beat her - but in the film we repeatedly see her knee him in the testicles (ouch...). Her trainer is useless - so TH's best solution is to chuck her skating boot at the woman's head. The judges are all continually biased against her - but she does actually appear in the Olympics. And when, at one stage, she does not perform a triple axle it is only because people set her blade wrongly. The truth, I suspect, lies somewhere in-between.
As a film, it plays between dark comedy and tragedy. But surely TH herself must be responsible for some part of that tragedy? Nope - according to the film she was always a victim, albeit talented and spirited. And, for good measure, Nancy Kerrigan was an ungrateful cow. Oh dear.
