The story of Tonya Harding raises all manner of issues for us to delve into. I, Tonya is a film about class, domestic abuse, celebrity, opportunity, achievement. We examine its visual design and use of competing aspect ratios, its use of direct address to camera, and the conceptualisation of the working class characters and mother-daughter relationship. Mike believes it insists upon Tonya Harding's fame too heavily, not aware of how she's only really remembered in the USA. Jose finds its portrayal of working class people uncomfortable. An energetic discussion. Recorded on 25th February 2018.
