If it hadn’t been for the rave reviews and the award nominations, I probably would have given this movie a pass. I’m so glad I didn’t.

Although it isn’t until the end that we see any actual footage of Tonya Harding, the movie portrays her life from the time she first started skating until after her Olympic performance and a short insight into her boxing career. Although funny in many places, I came away feeling very sorry for the way she was treated – by her mother, her husband, the legal system and the figure skating world in general.
