				Tonya Harding 
				Why watch this?
				The tragic story of Olympic ice skater Tonya Harding is 
				compelling. 
				Plot Summary: 
				This dark comedy follows competitive figure skater Tonya 
				Harding, tracing her journey from a difficult upbringing to 
				becoming an Olympic athlete. The film depicts the complexities 
				of her relationships with her abusive mother and husband, which 
				ultimately play a role in her rise and fall. Harding's legacy is 
				defined by her involvement in the infamous attack on rival 
				skater Nancy Kerrigan, leading to a major scandal and a lifetime 
				ban from the sport. Dad's Preview: 
				This sports scandal rocked the world. As the facts were 
				revealed, it became a surrealist's dream, a comedy of errors, 
				class warfare played out on the ice. Tonya Harding, the product 
				of abuse and poverty, out-works all her shortcomings to compete 
				on the world stage (she was the first skater ever to complete 
				two triple axel jumps in competition). Her competition is the 
				pristine, perfect Nancy Kerrigan, USA's top skater. Tonya's 
				husband, Jeff, make the dumbest decision of his life to "help" 
				Tonya's Olympic chances. This excellent film stands as a 
				mock-documentary black comedy, but it's also not a comedy at 
				all. There were motivations at play that resulted in an innocent 
				girl being hurt. Tonya, however, regardless of how involved she 
				was in the plot, is a survivor, and Robbie portrayal of her is 
				unforgettable.
