I saw the trailer, and I think that Margo Robbie was kind of miscast for Tonya Harding. She seems to have none of the looks, much less the personality for taking on such a role in a film.

I was not planning to see the film, "I, Tonya", anyhow, but seeing the trailer re-enforced my decision not to. Not withstanding that I think that Tonya Harding is a disgusting person who doesn't deserve respect (she hasn't earned it.), the film "I, Tonya" looks like a piece of junk. There's enough junk in the way of movies coming out nowadays, without that one, imho.

The movie "I, Tonya" is clearly meant to generate tons more sympathy for Tonya Harding, and I'm not buying it. You and Jehosaphat are trying to persuade me to see this film, in the hopes that I'll develop a more sympathetic and benevolent attitude towards Tonya Harding. Well, I'll tell you this, flat out, and straight: Tonya Harding will not get my sympathy, and I refuse to see this film.
Goodfellas, Godfather I and Godfather II, and Dirty Harry are different films, entirely. They're not real people, so I don't have any problems separating fantasy from reality. Tonya Harding is somebody that doesn't deserve much sympathy for what she did, and I'm not about to give it to her. Period!

"Roger that. Over and out."
Same to you.
Were Steven Rogers and Craig Gillespie to do the Nancy Kerrigan story, might you watch both films? I saw this film in part to see how a couple of filmmakers who have a questionable empathy for Tonya Harding would do it. I knew all along I'd read later to see how fair and factual-or not-the film is. Can you not enjoy a few great acting performances?
shareAbsolutely not, swl1019. That film seems like it totally fictionalized and glorified, and made comedy out of a rather tragic story. I refuse to watch a film that clearly glorifies either Tonya Harding or Nancy Kerrigan.
shareI know how I remember it and what I thought when this all went down when I was 25 years old, and when seeing it today it puts it all in perspective. We were making fun of Harding too a bit, with her unrefined, tough, redneck persona. Whatever anyone's final opinion is I can't respect it if they refuse to see the movie and then, assuming it went down this way, discuss their opinion. I'm not saying they need to change their opinion, just reevaluate it after seeing the movie and see if they feel at all differently and then discuss why or why not. I know I do feel differently a bit.
shareShe's miscast as beautiful (iconic) Sharon Tate. What, she's the only actress in town? Actually, that film shouldn't have even been made
shareShe did a great job with the role. She was also the producer so there's that.
