A raw, powerful film about Tonya Hardings side of her story. Margot Robbie plays the role to perfection, with an amazing 80s soundtrack. A must watch.
Some i loved and some i felt could've been cut out or made shorter. execution-wise that was like an 8/10 (because it was so long) but i love the story. it has that feeling of a story brought to justice.
Going to see a movie about Tonya Harding was not something I ever planned on doing, but I will watch anything Craig Gillespie directs, as his movies have a way of making impossible situations believable as plausible tales (see 2007's Lars and the Real Girl or the underrated The Finest Hour). Harding becomes a victim of her own gullibility, thinking it only takes talent and hard work to succeed in the world and that not playing politics will not matter. When other people around her act out on her behalf, well....we all know what happened in the 90's figure skating competitions! We lived it as a country, and finally this tale of a true underdog can be told. Margot Robbie is a force to be reckoned with for sure, if she wasn't before.
The acting in the film is quite good. I would give that part an 8. The down side is the movies massive attempt at painting Tonya Harding in a good light. I still feel she was a great part of her own demise.
