    I, Tonya

    ★★★½

    It wasn't my fault.

    I can't stand people with zero accountability, so unfortunately I didn't like anybody in this movie. And though they definitely tried, I did not find myself compelled to sympathize with Tonya as a protagonist at all.

    I honestly think this would have been better left off as a documentary. Absolutely zero reason for this to be a biopic.

    Don't get me wrong, there are stories like this that can work in any format like Bernie, for…

    I cannot talk French because whenever I speak it I feel that my mustache grows more than when I speak Spanish.

    Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep and Mood Indigo should be considered a spiritual trilogy like the Cornettos trilogy or the Cloverfield trilogy.

    Finally an Alien movie that used gravity in the plot and makes good use of the acid.

    It definitely starts off as slowburn. The whole first act is all about establishing character dynamics, plot devices, setting. Ultimately it all pays off as Fede Alvarez utilizes every bit of it throughout the film.

    I'll have to rewatch this as it can definitely be my second favorite of the franchise. It also has a case to be the scariest and most shocking of the franchise.

    Alexa queue "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat.

    Remember who you are.

    I love that the call operator says everything that the audience is thinking because it could have been very easy to find Elizabeth/Sue an annoying character. I think this is a lesson for any writers out there that characters can be frustrating but it's better if the film acknowledges it so it's not a burden on the viewer.

    You are one.
