The bar for figure skating films was relatively low before I, Tonya came along and triple-axeled all over the competition. The film didn't even need to stoop to bashing in the kneecaps of the other contenders either — there just aren't any films about ice skating to the caliber of I, Tonya. Unlike other figure skating films, it doesn't lend itself exclusively to just one genre and has a lot to offer just about everyone. It has a lot of fun embracing the irony and contradictions of the Harding/Kerrigan testimonies, and it's definitely worthy of the hype and praise surrounding it — it is, without a doubt, one of the most wild, comical, and entertaining experiences that 2017 had to offer.
