Tanya Harding’s bright future as an Olympic ice–skating competitor is in jeopardy when her ex–husband intervenes. Brash and fowl–mouthed docudrama style film is strictly by the numbers. The actors are great, the pace is solid, but it’s all be done before. As docudramas go, this is the way they should be rather than: The Gallant Hours (1960). Humor is here, whether intentional or not may be up for questioning, but it is present. Alison Janney won a richly deserved Best Supporting Actress Oscar® for her portrayal of one of the worst mothers in screen history!
Trivia: Allison Janney practiced for many years to be a figure skater. When she was 17 she had a bad accident of sliding through a glass door. Her leg was nearly severed and didn’t skate again for many years.
Oscar® winner for: Best Supporting Actress – Allison Janney. Oscar® nominated for: Best Actress – Margot Robbie, Best Supporting Actress – Allison Janney, and Best Editing.

The film was nominated for additional Golden Globes for: Best Picture – Musical Or Comedy and Best Actress – Motion Picture – Musical Or Comedy – Margot Robbie.
