I, Tonya: parents' guide

Realistic, repeated domestic violence: a mother beats her young daughter and later throws a knife into her arm, and a husband punches, slaps and slams his wife into walls. A shotgun is fired during a fight at home, and boxing bouts are bloody.

Pervasive: Plugged In counted about 130 f-words and 25 s-words, plus three uses of the c-word, frequent misuse of God's and Jesus' names, and crude gestures.

Several sex scenes between Tonya and her boyfriend, later husband, with movement but no explicit nudity; his bare backside is glimpsed. A strip club shows topless dancers in pasties, and her brother grabs her chest.

Nearly everyone smokes, including Tonya right before skating. Characters drink beer in bars, a man is pulled over drunk, and Common Sense notes skaters taking bong hits in a hotel room.

The abuse scenes are frightening and emotionally raw, with a little girl cowering from her mother and a wife terrorized at home, even though the film often cuts away for jokes.
