Absurdist comedy retelling of the Tonya Harding story. Much of it is accurate.

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2018)

I watched this at home on DVD from my public library. Perhaps the biggest thing to keep in mind is the overview at the beginning, ""Based on irony free, wildly contradictory, totally true interviews with Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly." The interviews were true, not all the details could have been.
Meaning the story here in the movie is pretty much what the principal characters had to say but each one had his or her own version of "the truth." Throughout the movie characters commonly look into the camera and speak, as if they are speaking to us, the audience.
The climax of the whole story of course is the incident where Harding's main rival, Nancy Kerrigan, was clubbed on the leg after a practice session in an attempt to remove her from future competitions by breaking her leg. Margot Robbie is a reasonable Tonya. But even more impressive is Allison Janney as Tonya's abusive mom, LaVona.
Much of the movie is presented in an almost absurdist style and frankly is very entertaining. Most of the time. I remember Tonya and Nancy very well, it is interesting revisiting that time in this movie's presentation of the "facts."
