Spectacular Film
Margot Robbie is amazing as Tonya Harding. The performance she gave in this film is probably the best in her career. The story of Tonya Harding is absolutely fascinating. The way the movie was filmed, along with the strong performance from Margot Robbie and fellow cast allows for one to rethink about their view on Tonya Harding and actually breeds sympathy on a character that the media at that time painted as such a villainous character. A Highly-Recommended watch!
I love how the filmmakers never devolved to cheap sensationalism, unlike the media of the day. They captured Harding's plight of being misunderstood and villainised so perfectly. I appreciate how she is portrayed as a flawed, yet tenacious and strong person. You will definitely sympathise with her and root for her. Margot Robbie does an amazing and believable portrayal of Harding. It was a phenomenal performance and her dedication to the role shines through. There's also plenty of dark humor, if that's what you like.
I honestly expected myself to like this movie a lot, but I found myself quite disconnected from the tale at times. Margot Robbie and Allison Janney were amazing though.
