"I, Tonya" (2017) Film Review

Image
  “I, Tonya” gives audiences a different look into what really happened on that rink in 1994. Directed By: Craig Gilespie Rated: R Runtime: 2:01 Review By: Livi Edmonson Dazzling audiences with its tough love humor and retro spunk, “I, Tonya” is a biopic that stars Margot Robbie as the extremely gifted figure skater, Tonya Harding. At the age of “a soft four”, Tonya’s abusive and controlling mother, LaVona (played by Allison Janney), puts Tonya in skating class with one of the best coaches in Portland, raising her to be a champion in the harshest way possible.

“Darkest Hour” showcases Churchill’s imperfectness to be his greatest triumph. Directed By: Joe Wright Rated: PG-13 Runtime: 2:05 Review By: Livi Edmonson Golden Globe winner and Academy award nominee, Gary Oldman, channels the great Winston Churchill, in director Joe Wright’s latest film, “Darkest Hour”. The film gives us a more intimate look into the life of Great Britain’s legendary Prime Minister, who claimed his success in his most careless, uneasy moments. We see Churchill’s story unfold from just moments before he was named Prime Minister, all the way up until he rallied his nation to fight for peace against the relentless Germany, proving that he was and will always be, one of the most treasured orators of all time. For those who appreciate historical flicks about great historical leaders--- this film is right up your alley. There has been a handful of films in 2017 that had to do with both Churchill and the monumental battle of Dunkirk.
