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.

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.

4/5

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

4/5

Great performances, whip smart editing, savvy fourth wall breaking and one hell of a soundtrack make a star of Robbie and confirm Gillespie is an incredibly exciting director

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.

Margot Robbie puts her stake in the game as a legendary actress with this epic ice-skating biopic influenced by American Rock music.

Very funny and great performances from Robbie and Janney, ably supported by Stan and Walter. Visually good and well directed by Gillespie with an effective soundtrack. Also didn't pull it's punches about growing up in adverse social conditions. Better than I expected.

Eu, Tonya, é um filme bem trabalhado, com uma ótima direção, não tinha conhecimento da história de Tonya, mais filme ótimo para olhar mais de uma vez, além da Margot entregar muito em sua atuação, me impressiono a própria não ter ganhado o Oscar, sua atuação é impecável, sou meio inexperiente de falar sobre fotografia, mais para mim foi memorável.

The real-life story of Tonya is definitely movie material. Good acting all around. Allison Janney is superb as always.

I really enjoyed I, Tonya because it was easy to follow and the way the story unfolded made it fun and often funny to watch. The film’s fast pacing and humor kept me engaged, and the mockumentary style made the characters feel entertaining and memorable. However, the movie did become a bit bland at times since there were no major twists, and much of the plot felt predictable. Even so, there were still moments where I genuinely felt sympathy for Tonya and other characters, especially when the film showed the emotional and personal struggles behind the scandal. Overall, despite its predictability, I, Tonya was an enjoyable and engaging movie with strong emotional moments.
