Thanks to films like Rocky, the idea of the sports movie has come to represent a certain type of underdog; someone who exceeds against an oppressive society. Even if that's the case, few people were as primed against this structure quite like Tonya Harding - now infamous for an incident regarding Nancy Kerrigan. She has become the butt of countless jokes since, ruining her reputation as an excellent figure skater. With that in mind, director Craig Gillespie has decided to explore the truth behind the tragedy in the comedy I, Tonya. It's a film that manages to explore her background and her struggles to be taken seriously. In that way, it's a typical sports movie. However, it's more vulgar than your Million Dollar Babies. It's a unique journey that is as off-putting as it is fascinating.
