Based on the unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is a dark comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous and poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, and an original screenplay by Steven Rogers, Craig Gillespie's I, Tonya is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked and checkered glory.

Sunday Times (UK)

Edward Porter

Both Robbie and Allison Janney are excellent, and the film’s frisky style is pretty much Scorsese on ice.

Margot Robbie and director Craig Gillespie do the impossible: they turn Tonya Harding, 1994's most vilified American, into a sympathetic figure. My #2 movie of 2017.

The result is one part Tonya's personal truth of the events, one part reveling in junk food news, and another part media critique. Still, the joys of this film should not be understated.

I, Tonya is a wickedly funny and equally depressing piece of cinema that has a lot more on its mind than most fluffier biopics.

I, Tonya adopts the right tone to relate the factual tale of the whacked kneecap, spinning it in a darkly comedic direction.
