8 Indie Must-Sees for December4 of 8
I, Tonya
Even the so-so reviews of Margot Robbie's portrayal of vindictive professional figure skater Tonya Harding make me want to see it on opening night. "[It] plays like a less effective mishmash of To Die For and Fargo," Benjamin Lee of The Guardian says in his review. Like that's a bad thing? Personally, the movie also seems like it would play well on a double bill with Drop Dead Gorgeous. Speaking of Allison Janney movies, her presence as Tonya's mother might be the main reason we're primed for this dark comedy that somehow redeems its subject. — Arno
I, Tonya opens in limited U.S. release Friday, Dec. 8.
