Yesterday i saw "i tonya". And i think it's one of the best movies i've ever seen.
It's about the iceskater tonya harding and for those of you for who that doesn't ring any bell: somewhere in the 90's the skater nancy carrigan was attacked with a bat, injuring her knee. It turned out that the husband of tonya harding was behind this attack and it became a big scandal, making headlines worldwide. Whether tonya herself knew about the attack was never realy cleared up.
The movie deals with this ambiguity by telling the story about tonya hardings life from the different perspectives of various people involved and having them commenting about the events, breaking the third wall.
This movie is insane. Sometimes it is a very serious drama and then it suddenly changes to total slapstick, and it is absolutely convincing at both. There where moments i almost bursted into tears and then half a minute later i was laughing my ass off.
The acting in this movie is amazing. I would say that almost everyone in it should have gotten an oscar for what they did there. Tonya is played by margot robbie and saying she totally nailed it would be an understatement.
Realy everything about this movie is brilliant. I think the last time i was realy this impressed by something cinematic was after watching the harry potter movies. (And that should say something because some people might wrongfully believe that harry potter is just superficial entertainment for childeren. But i know that most nexians usually look a little deeper and therefore probably realise that the harry potter movies where never about magic).
Go see this movie. You won't regret it.
