I, Tonya Film Review

Finished watching I, Tonya, directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Alison Jenney, Julianne Nicholson, Bobby Cannavale and Caitlin Carver. The film opens with former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie), her ex husband Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan), Tonya's mother LaVona Fay Golden (Alison Jenney), Tonya's coach Diane Rawlinson (Julianne Nicholson) and producer Martin Maddox (Bobby Cannavale) tell the story of how Tonya became an Olympic figure skater and how her image was tarnished by the assault of Tonya's teammate Nancy Kerrigan (Caitlin Carver). Overall this was a great film as it dives into the life of Olympic figure skater that brings some great character interactions the tension between characters in some scenes. The use of the film being structured around interviews of each character is great as it gives multiple (prospectives) to the events that transpire within the film while being able to give some great insight to each character's own reactions to the events in the film. 8/10.
