The skating was beautiful to watch. Tonya's artistry, determination and resilience was awe inspiring. Her abusive relationships were well portrayed. That with her mother was unbelievable. But the amount of abuse and domestic violence got repetitive.

Less of a documentary style than I Daniel Blake, but an equally powerful film, and just as relevant to understanding the free enterprise, gig economy that treats people like machines. The domestic arguments and conflicts were hard to watch. The effects on children and family life are again highlighted by Ken Loach. He paints a broad picture of family and community life, as well as drawing back the curtain on the details of privatised delivery and social care systems.
