I, Tonya (2017)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I'm glad I rented this. I grew up watching tonya and nancy figure skating. Definitely better than I thought it would be. I had no idea about her upbringing and how abusive her mom and boyfriend then husband was. Wow. Still doesn't excuse her choices and behavior but I can see where the core issues came from. She needed therapy for sure.

First off let it be known that this is mostly from the perspective of Tonya Harding herself so it puts most of the blame for the Kerrigan incident on her ex-husband Sean Eckhardt. It also paints her mother as incredibly abusive. Whether true or not this is Tonya story and should be seen as that. It is however incredibly well acted by everyone involved and definitely deserving of the awards it got.Part comedy and part tragedy portrays Tonya as an incredibly talented but underrated skater who was viewed as white trash by the people who should have embraced her. That being said it also is clear that she was often the source of her own angst. This doesn't portray Tonya the villain of the attack but more as someone who got swept away by fate and tragedy so if you view Tonya as a villain you won't like this but if you view more to the story then you might want to give this a chance it is worth it.

Ah - Yes! - Welcome to the wonderfully glamorous (and, of course, highly rewarding) world of women's competitive professional figure skating.And, looking at "I,Tonya" from my perspective - I'd say that it was the ultimate glorification of trash.From its trashy characters, to its trashy situations, to its trashy violence, to its trashy dialogue, to its trashy everything - It was all just - TrashyTrashyTrashyTrashyTrashy Trash!!And, being such absolute trash that it was - (And, in its shameless trashiness) - It actually stooped to the gutter-level mentality of encouraging the viewer to, literally, laugh out loud at what happened to Nancy Kerrigan (as though the whole incident was just a "slapstick" comedy).Tsk. Tsk. Such utter trash that tries to pass itself off as worthwhile entertainment.

Es una película que llega a emocionar en cuanto a que ella llega a conseguir mucho viniendo de donde viene, incluso llegas a olvidarte de lo mala persona que pudo ser. Creo que es un poco larga, pero se ve muy bien. La película la levantan los actores, incluso aunque hablen a cámara, lo cual es lo peor de toda la película junto a su peluquería. Están todos tan estupendos que te meten completamente en la historia. Eso si ella tendría que haber sido más joven, es imposible creerse que tiene la edad que dice tener.El empleo de la cámara lenta, me parece estupendo. Hay que hacerlo en su justa medida y en los momentos exactos y eso lo hace muy bien, aun habiendo mucha, no sobra, está bien puesta.Lo que menos me gusta es la parte falso documental. No me gusta ver a los actores contando lo que ya se cuenta en la película.No me gusta ese deporte y sin embargo me gusta verla haciéndolo. Eso lo consigue, no sé si es que ella sabrá hacerlo o sino es que la doble es espectacular y se parece mucho a ella.La iluminación está bastante bien sin llegar a ser estupenda. Se desmarca de ser una película de bajo presupuesto, pero no llega a ser muy buena.La dirección ha conseguido que empaticemos con una persona, poco humilde, ególatra, mal educada, pero que debía ser muy buena. No aburre, al revés, te lleva y te atrapa. No usa la cámara como debería, ya que podría hacer unos planos espectaculares pero al menos esta bien llevada.Te entretendrás viendo una película bastante decenteIt is a film that gets excited in that she gets to get a lot coming from where it comes from, you even get to forget about the bad person she could be. I think it's a bit long, but it looks very good.The film is raised by the actors, even if they talk to the camera, which is the worst part of the whole movie with their hairdressers. They are all so great that they put you completely in the story. That if she should have been younger, it is impossible to believe that she is as old as she says she is.The use of slow motion, I think it's great. You have to do it in its right measure and in the exact moments and that does it very well, even if there is a lot, it does not spare, it is well set.What I like the least is the fake documentary part. I do not like to see the actors telling what is already told in the film.I do not like that sport and yet I like to see it doing it. That is achieved, I do not know if she will know how to do it or if the double is spectacular and looks a lot like her.The lighting is quite good without becoming great. It stands out from being a low budget movie, but it does not become very good.The management has managed to empathize with a person, not very humble, egotistical, badly educated, but that should be very good. Do not bore, on the contrary, it takes you and catches you. It does not use the camera as it should, since it could make some spectacular plans but at least it is well taken.You will entertain yourself watching a pretty decent movie
