It's not like modern cinema is so bloated with postmodern autocritiques of biopic storytelling that this feels anything but striking and unique.

A stunning performance by Robbie that should gain her a Best Actress nomination. Who could beat Janney's fearless, cruel performance in the Best Supporting category?

Robbie delivers a performance that is breathtaking to behold, almost to the point of exhaustion.

It's still early in the career of Margot Robbie, but Tonya Harding will go down as her current performance to beat, and much like pulling off a triple axle, it won't be easy to surpass.

With a less compelling lead performance, the movie's dodgy limitations and flashy, facile editing and cross-cutting might've proven insufferable.

I, Tonya is kitschy and smart and funny and insightful, and sometimes sobering.

Robbie ... captures both Harding's radiance and the vulnerability of her frayed edges. It's a great performance that can make the movie feel better than it actually is.
December 21, 2017
A pointed satire on athletic ambition and class conflict that's fueled by a biting sense of humor and a couple of knockout performances.

It's puzzling why Gillespie opted to retell Harding's off-told story, but with big assists from Robbie and Janney, he makes it seem new.
December 22, 2017
Like its plucky anti-heroine, I, Tonya is full of grit and determination, enough to make it where pedigree, decorum and odds are stacked in opposition.
December 22, 2017
Gillespie's insistence on comedy in place of what's largely missing from the film - perspective, pathos - falsely energizes the story. It's sped up but feels hollow. A spinning compass whose needle is about to snap.
December 22, 2017
Robbie gives a commanding comic performance, playing Tonya as a force of talent, determination, spunk and rotten choices. Janney is caustic gold as the swearing, chain-smoking, horrid LaVona.
