Good morning Chuck,
It isn't easy to make a balanced judgement in real life; from people's faith, from the laws of each land, from human values, from how we grew up, from rehabilitation, from everything.
'I, Tonya' is a film, a view from a director who put the emphasis where I think it is important; Tonya's growing up, mainly raised by her mother, a person of dysfunctionality, big time. In that perspective I fully agree with you; Tonya didn't have the moral support, the true value of life, the love of real friends and family.
The justice system doesn't take into account those important elements in almost all cases.
There is simply no time to make a fair judgemenf; if you hang with the wrong people, you would be treated harshly. Tonya didn't have a solid foundation, she was mistreated and abused from what we saw in that film. And that, society doesn't care, the reason why she ended up severely punished; a double blow in her life, in what she only was programmed to do, skate and be the best, and without mercy, without grace and human respect.
That's my take from the film and from what I've read. I don't condemn, because her mother was pure evil in my book of human values.
It is not fair; it is her mother who should have been banned from ever going to a skating ring, to be within a thousand yards from Tonya. The film is a powerful testament to this reflection.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' - I wasn't transported into the magical Star Wars magic, I found extremely boring @ times, with zero vitamin...no love, no attraction...just mechanically too boring.
I was generous in my rating score mainly for the "video game" aspect type of it; the space fights with the laser colors.
I scored it just enough for people to give it a shot and see for themselves the fall of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Film activities remain, they are in a period of reassessment, of fitting with the times, my time.
Last night I revisited 'The Shape of Water'. The night before I revisited 'Lucy'.
I like both films, of course or I wouldn't revisit them.
I live today for today; it's the best way for me. I have zero clue if I will be watching a film tonight, and if yes, which one. I just go with the flow of the moment, like many of us do.

'Ready - Player One' will come, it is already here playing @ the theaters, and merewrench, Cologne for gentlemen, scored it high; 9 out of 10.
_____
Films and music we keep in touch; entertainment for the eyes and ears and thrills.
It's going to be a great day, the best day, all day all night.
