Now over two decades ago, Harding is one of the most despised figures in sports history, but in this picture, Tonya is shown somewhat as a victim and more stupid than evil.
Margot Robey is totally convincing as Harding, even her portrayal of present day Tonya is spot on. Allison Janney, a veteran actor accustomed to dark roles is totally convincing as Tonya's pure evil abusive alcoholic mother.
Tonya suffers violence from her mother as well as her abusive, hard lucked husband.
The movie does a good job of being sympathetic to Tonya, but we must keep in mind that it is indeed, just a movie.
