I just saw "I, Tonya". I thought it was an exceptional film. Much, much better then I expected.

I was expecting something like "Battle of the Sexes", a film I considered mediocre and forgettable, and instead saw a film more like "To Die For" (Nicole Kidman- Gus Van Sant 1995)

I never followed the scandal, but based on the little I knew, I assumed Tonya was a pathological *itch - end of story. But I found her character, and her personal relationships complex- and sad. Heartbreaking.

Billy Wonka- "Robbie is too damned good looking to be Harding and it was distracting"

I hear you- ha ha - But Robbie did a terrific job. Her outstanding performance downplayed her natural beauty. But it's difficult to push Harley Quinn etc out of one's brain...

Have a great day!
