I cry everytime I see the video of her landing the triple axel.

That's truly who Tonya was. She wasn't the evil villain to America's twisted story of fame, nor was she a redneck, a hillbilly, or a white trash girl with no education. She was that triple axel. She was the buildup to it, and the falling out after it. She was the doubt, the inspiration, and the feeling everyone across the world had when she landed it. After the triple axel, she was everything.

She never wanted to be anything but the best. And who can blame her? She was the image of the American dream, from beginning to end. She was what the people wanted her to…

Director Craig Gillespie has a habit of turning a bad pitch into a good movie. Lars and the Real Girl, a story about a man who falls in love with a life-size doll, sounds awful on paper. So does a remake of Fright Night. And so does a movie about the infamous Tonya Harding.

Even though I'm an Oregonian (Sco Ducks!), I didn't know much about the Tonya Harding case going into the movie. My only information was from my mom, who said that Tonya was a figure skater who personally busted a woman's knees herself, and that she hopes that Tonya will get no money from this "disgusting" movie. Obviously, that's not the truth. But at the same time,…

Maybe I am biased because my favourite actress is in this, but this film is fucking great. After watching Dallas Buyers Club, I really was excited to see more biopics as they definitely had a certain level of interest to them, that fictional stories can’t always have. Despite this I came in with low expectations—unconsciously—even though it was starring Robbie, and I am glad to say that it was amazing. Her performance in this is definitely top-notch along with the man cast as Jeff he was really good at times too. The great thing about I, Tonya is that it offers such a in-depth look, and at the ups and downs of Tonya's life and personal affairs that you can't…

More than the narrative aspect, the breaking of the fourth wall (which reminded me a lot of The Big Short), and the uncanny comical comedy involved, Margot Robbie’s performance elevated this movie in its entirety. 

I’m very late to the party but Margot Robbie has definitely earned a spot in my top actors/actresses list. Her range is by far one of the most remarkable ones I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing on the silver screen.

But even more than that, let’s not forget the perpetual message of the movie with respect to abuse, societal standards, and plain ignorance. I don’t wish to water down Tonya Harding’s character by simply saying all she wanted in life was to be loved and…
