Margot Robbie took I, Tonya from tabloid fodder to something much more complex. Without her, the film might have felt shallow or unfocused. Robbie brought Tonya Harding to life by showing her ambition, frustration, and vulnerability. She made Tonya a real person instead of just a punchline. Her performance balanced the humor and heartbreak in Tonya’s story. Robbie added weight to the film and made it stand out as a sharp exploration of class, struggle, and public perception.
