Margot Robbie did a great job playing her character and so did Allison Janney, her performance was so convincing I wanted to punch her in the face throughout the entire movie.
Until I saw this movie, in my point of view Tonya Harding was a cheat and a lowlife and this was entirely based on the media coverage of the events in 1994. Having seen the movie, I feel ashamed about how easily I judged her.
Maybe “I, Tonya” works in its profound sadness as well. Toward the end Tonya says, “I am not a monster.” No, she’s not. She is just the little girl who wanted to be loved and never got it. She was driven and wanted to be the best. Tonya is just human. She is both lightness and darkness. Perhaps within “I, Tonya” are loud laughs and the subtle lesson of having compassion.
