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.

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

Rated: 4/4

Sight & Sound

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.

Rated: 4/5

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.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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.

Rated: 5/5

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

Margo Robbie should have won an oscar for this movie. Also it features both comedy and tragedy presented very well.

Very difficult to watch at times, but this is an expertly made film. The performances from Margot Robbie, Allison Janney, and Sebastian Stan are phenomenal. This is an absolute must see film.

Not a bad movie, but one of the WORST mis-uses of music I've encountered. One hit after another, just blasted at you. Added nothing to the ambiance of the film - and was just a total distraction. I imagine the idea was to get a sense of the time it took place, but jesus, they just hit you over the head with it. I turned off the sound just to get through it. Whoever made this movie needs to take a few lessons from Tarentino, a movie maker who understands how to use music in a film.

In my opinion this should have been Margot Robbie’s oscar. She absolutely smashed this role out of the park and don’t think it gets enough credit! It’s an extremely well delivered film made with a smaller budget than most.
