2017 movie details the rise and fall of Tonya Harding, an American figure

skater who rose to prominence and then notoriety in the early 1990s. A gritty,

darkly humorous movie with some superb performances, notably Margot Robbie in

the title role and Alison Janney, who was to win a Best Supporting Actress

Oscar for her role as Tonya’s mother. The movie manages to balance gripping

entertainment and humour yet never loses sight of the underlying pathos of the

real story. Our task is to determine how close to that real-life story the

movie manages to remain. We hope you’ll join us.
