In 1991, talented figure skater Tonya Harding becomes the first American woman to complete a triple axel during a competition. In 1994, her world comes crashing down when her ex-husband conspires to injure Nancy Kerrigan, a fellow Olympic hopeful, in a poorly conceived attack that forces the young woman to withdraw from the national championship. Harding's life and legacy instantly become tarnished as she's forever associated with one of the most infamous scandals in sports history.

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.

4/4

How much Harding knew or didn't know about the attack on Kerrigan is somewhat secondary, if that can be believed.

Gillespie has imbued his film with black humour, while never undermining the authenticity of the characters or detracting from the abuse that runs through the story.

[Allison Janney's] undiluted unsentimentality is the perfect compliment for a sporting underdog movie that disobeys the rules.

Craig Gillespie’s ambitious direction and self-awareness made I, Tonya a refreshing and hysterical look at Tonya Harding’s life and what drove the events of her downfall.

Brimming with depravity and teaming with talent, "I, Tonya" may be the brashest film you will see seen this year and, quite frankly, one of the downright best as well.

…isn’t a feminist polemic, but a serious-minded black-comedy…

I, Tonya works so well as a film even if it clearly takes liberties with the facts. The mockumentary style, the fake "talking head" interviews, and all the ways the movie blurs the line between documentary and drama to show how media can fully control a narrative, especially in a pre-social media era where Tonya had no platform to defend herself. A sharp, stylish, rewatchable take on a story and performance.

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

There's great heart in Margot Robbie taking on a national joke, a secondhand villain, and turning her into a quiet hero.

Sympathetic, sad, funny. Janney at her best.

Loved it. It's a true, real & raw story of figure skater Tonya, who became the first American woman to land the triple axel. Acting was incredible, production was on point, everything seemed so cohesive. Really liked the humor elements of the movie & overall it was very entertaining and interesting to watch.
