The most bad-assed ice skating movie in history blows the lid off the vicious, cut-throat world of people who whizz about on a rink all day wearing tulle. Reasonably true story of how Tonya Harding rose from wrong-side-of-the-tracks background to become top US ice dancer, suffered through various horrible relationships, briefly became infamous for (possible) involvement in an assault on her rival.

A smart movie that has fun with the grotesque outrageousness of much of the story, manages to avoid most sports movie clichés too. There's an extent to which serious issues are (wait for it) skated over in favour of very funny black comedy, but great performances and moments mean that doesn't feel like much of an issue. In the end, it manages to feel genuinely sympathetic to Harding as a person; the viewer likely will, as well. Movie is a contender; makes Margot Robbie look like one, too.
