Poor Tonya Harding. Abused child turned battered wife whose idiot husband ended her skating career by arranging an assault on ice-skating rival Nancy Kerrigan.
Nancy Kerrigan went on to win a silver medal in the Olympics; she was criticized for not being a better sport about a Ukrainian teen beating her out for the gold medal and was later attacked on Dateline NBC after they picked her up on microphone expressing embarrassment at having to wear her silver medal while playing a princess in a Disneyland parade. There was a terrible backlash against the poor girl. I don't know how Tonya Harding is regarded these days.
The movie was okay. An antidote to Portlandia.
