The movie “I, Tonya” is a hilarious (and disturbing) look at the life of Tonya Harding that showcases Margot Robbie’s talents.
The dark, twisted, and hilarious look at the rise and fall of US Olympic figure-skater Tonya Harding had buyers scrambling to nab it at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, and now it’s time for general audiences to get their chance.
Margot Robbie plays the disgraced skater in a performance that is the best of her career to this point.
Though Harding’s claim to fame should be as the first American woman to land a triple axel in competition, what she’s really known for is being the center of one of the biggest scandals in US sports history when her rival, US figure-skater Nancy Kerrigan, was attacked leading up to the 1994 Winter Olympics. Later on, it was discovered that Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, hired someone to assault Kerrigan.
