My God! They are really learning how to do a biography film, aren't they?

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2018)

Till this past year I had a problem with most "biography" that I watched, the only one that I really loved was The Imitation Game, although, this past year made me change my mind. "I, Tonya" is another great biography movie that came out this year.
The acting is gorgeous, Margot Robbie and Allison Janney are the highlights of it, they kill in their roles, but I also like a lot of Paul Walter Hauser's performance. Sebastian Stan is good too.
In fact, this part (the acting) was what I came to the movie expecting, just amazing acting and a "ok" movie, but my God, the movie is thrilling and entertaining for the entire run time. The soundtrack is fantastic, every song fits almost perfectly in each scene. The editing is awesome, they mix some "interview" scene through the main history, with narration, and fourth wall breaks, and it works! Otherwise, the movie would be just an assembly of events in Tonya's life leading to this one moment, but the montage change this scenario completely.
You understand Tonya's point of view, you get why she is like that, you might not like her overall, but you definitely gets the reason why she act like that.
And this is probably my favorite thing about the movie, how they were able to pick the history and make something fresh with it, not just the ordinary dramatic arch that we saw over and over again. The history is sad in many ways, but the approach here is not only sadness, is also with a comic way.
The movie has tension when it needs to have, it can make you cry when he needs to, and also could get some jokes in a lot of other moments. I love the direction here too, the actor's performance, the cinematography, the use of the slow-mo, the track, in a way, it almost always has the director's hand.
The only issue that I might have with the movie are some of the skating scenes, I don't know how the could improve that, but in some shoot you just can't avoid notice that is just Margot's head in some else's body.
In short, "I, Tonya" is a terrific film, that approach this really challenging genre in a fresh and clever way. I love it.
