Talking about white thrash...

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2018)

Let me first tell you that I think figure ice skating is one of the most boring things to watch. So I was, let just say, not thrilled to watch this movie. But everybody heard about the Nancy Kerrigan incident, and Tonya Harding would become world famous after that incident, even more than Nancy Kerrigan, so I was interested by the story leading to the incident. And I didn't regret watching this movie because I thought it was really well made, with great actors, and a quite unbelievable story. I just think they should have said a bit more about the press that condamned Harding from the beginning and that she clearly didn't deserve that. I was also biased by watching the news about the incident in those days, and this movie made me realize that Tonya didn't had an easy life and should not be blamed for every sin under the sun. Very good acting from Margot Robbie playing Tonya. The best actress in this movie to me is Allison Janney playing Lavona, the mother of Tonya. That character deserved to have her kneecaps broken instead of Kerrigan. A truely awful mother, one that not deserve to have kids. The movie is about white thrash at it's best. But also about how corrupt and narrow minded the ice skating world is, aspecially the judges. Shame on them. One that clearly deserves jail time, regardless the Kerrigan incident is Tonya's husband Jeff, played by Sebastian Stan. An awful human being, a controling egocentric women beater. But the absolute winner of the Darwin award is the character Shawn, played by Paul Walter Hauser. If that story truely happened like they showed in this movie, then that must be one of the dumbest people I ever saw. An absolute garbage of a human being, a waste of space. I, Tonya is a movie that will be appreciated by a lot of movie lovers. Well made, with a great cast, and with an incredible story, a story that had to be told.
