I, Tonya (15)
Directed by Craig Gillespie
★★★★
WITH its unconventional structure and contradictory viewpoints, this irreverently dark and funny film is as unbelievable as the true story of US figure skater Tonya Harding and the scandal that rocked the sporting world that it is based on.
But producer and Oscar-nominated star Margot Robbie, who plays Harding, didn't realise it was based on a true story when she first read Steven Rogers' script.
