‘PREMIERE: I, Tonya - Craig Gillespie’

The figure skater Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie) has a natural talent and seems all set to be selected for the Olympic team. But Tonya does not come from a very prosperous family. Her vulgar clothes and brash character are scorned in the very strict world of figure skating. Surrounded by people who are stupid and who do not always have good intentions, Tonya hatches a plan to take her revenge on her principal rival: the angelic Nancy Kerrigan. One of the biggest scandals in US history was suddenly in the making. The true story of I, Tonya presents a hilarious and touching portrait of an outsider with an immense talent that she herself cannot quite grasp. Margot Robbie excels in the role of the treacherous Tonya Harding while Allison Janney gives a masterful performance as Tonya’s mother. In I, Tonya, the director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) strikes a perfect balance between humour, violence and emotion.
