Top film critic Peter Travers wrote in Rolling Stone that Margot was ‘never better’ and portrayed the skater to perfection.

‘Robbie turns her features hard – and her attitude harder – to play the queen of the triple axel,’ he wrote. 

‘She never begs for sympathy, though we give it willingly thanks to the pow of the star’s take on Harding as a woman who refuses to be a punchline.’
