I, Tonya

possible unknown fact:

I fucking love figure skating

that being said how could i not be excited about a film about the first woman to land a triple Axel in combination with a double toe loop!!!!! (the beginning of the end credits shows the actual footage of this)

then to add fuel to the fire the first review i see is "This is the Goodfellas of ice skating"

all this being said......This film is soooooo good

look you'd have to be pretty out of touch to not know Tonya Harding and "the incident"...that alone already makes a good film....but this really gets into the abuse she endured for basically her entire life

her mother physically and mentally abused her
her husband abused her
the skating federation abused her (basically said she was white trash and was not a good fit for a figure skater....even though raw talent was there)
the press abused the shit out of her

and then there was "the incident"

this is very well written, well acted and just well done

movie of the year? No

still a great film about a very interesting piece of history

seeing Darkest Hour later today
