| Sebastian Stan, Margo Robbi and Juliette Nichols |
But the movie was about a lot more than that. It was about a dysfunctional lower class American family who found 1 way out of the cycle. Tonya Harding fought against every USA Skating roadblock to do well and get to the Olympics. Her story was sad, empowering, challenging, tough to watch and funny.
And Tonya Harding seems to understand this. It is a movie that definitely has Tonya's point of view in front and center.
Margo Robbi, Allison Janney and Sebastian Stan are all excellent. Janney has the juiciest part, but they are all great. The coach is Juliette Nichols, who I have reviewed on and off-broadway for years. The same is true for Sebastian Stan, which is why I probably rooted for his acting as well.
It is an interesting and fun watch - if a little harsh every now and then.
