I, TONYA: Margot Robbie produced and portrays Tonya Harding in this film that attempts to examine her career and how she came up the through the ranks in the ice skating world. Ms. Robbie does much of her own skating and is quite good and she is due additional praise for losing her Australian accent and bring this "white trash" character to the fore. However, the scene stealer in all the proceedings is Allison Janney as Tonya's abusive mother LaVona. Having won the Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actress, I'm guessing she's a shoe-in for an Oscar nomination. And she well may get it. Also, in the cast is a splendid Sebastian Stan as Tonya's husband, Jeff Gillooly and the two share what can only be called a love/hate relationship. How much of this is true is anyone's guess, but it does make for an interesting look into that strange incident that literally cost Hardin her career, a career that could have been stellar being the first woman to execute a triple axel.
