No sympathy for Harding.

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 2018)

This movie tries to excuse Harding's conduct by portraying her (miserable) mother and former husband as cruel and abusive but Harding made no effort to improve the quality of her life.
But does that excuse Harding's classless, disrespectful, abusive personalty? No way.
The acting is good, and the production fine.
The movie attempts to encourage sympathy for Harding but its difficult to believe she wasnt involved in or at least know of the attack on Kerrigan.
Clearly her mother, if portrayed accurately, is one of the meanest, evil people one could ever meet.
Overall, I would recommend this movie only to get the historical background but be skeptical about how Harding and Gilhooley are shown. It seems they are more culpable in real life than the movie suggests.
The cigarette product placement is annoying and insulting and if big tobacco paid to finance this film, it should be made public and investigated.
