I Tonya

Kneecapping figure skater

*I, Tonya* is a 2017 biographical film about figure skater Tonya Harding, focusing on her turbulent life and the infamous 1994 attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan.

The film uses darkly comic tone and unreliable narration to examine class prejudice in figure skating and questions of truth in scandal.

Margot Robbie played Harding; Allison Janney won an Oscar for playing her mother.
