Woman’s Day (Australia)

I, Tonya

-

STARRING: MARGOT ROBBIE, ALLISON JANNEY, SEBASTIAN STAN

THE PLOT… Based on one of the most intriguing sporting scandals in US history,

I, Tonya tells the story of champion figure skater Tonya Harding, whose then-husband Jeff Gillooly hired an assailant to smash her rival Nancy Kerrigan’s legs with a baton leading up to the 1994 Winter Olympics. Tonya has always insisted she wasn’t in on the twisted plot, but is she telling the truth? You’ll be asking yourself that as you watch magnificen­t Margot play rough-aroundthe-edges Tonya. Allison Janney is brilliant as Tonya’s scary stage mother Lavona. WHERE TO WATCH… In cinemas now.

WATCH IF YOU LIKE… Improbable real-life tales told in a darkly funny way.

THE STARS SAY... “I thought, this writer is so kooky for coming up with all of this stuff!” Margot says. “And then I realised it was a true story, and I was absolutely blown away.”
