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.

Critics Consensus: Led by strong work from Margot Robbie and Alison Janney, I, Tonya finds the humor in its real-life story without losing sight of its more tragic -- and emotionally resonant -- elements.

Common Sense Says

Fact-based dark comedy has strong language, domestic abuse.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that I, Tonya is based on the true story of controversial 1990s figure skater Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie). It's a dark comedy with plenty of mature content. Harding is serially abused by both her mother and her boyfriend/husband; the scenes of abuse are depicted realistically and have intense emotional impact. There's also pervasive strong language ("f--k," "s--t," and more), some sexuality (including strip-club nudity), and both drug use and smoking, sometimes by world-class athletes. Plus, the movie presents a pretty bleak view of the world, in which a person can have everything she's worked for destroyed by idiots and sociopaths.
