The film "I Tonya"

Yesterday I watched the film called "I Tonya". I saw this movie in its original version with subtitles in Spanish. The movie is based in this story the american figure skater Tonya Harding. She was the first person to make a triplet axel in competition. In 1994, her main rival for the Winter Olympics Games Nancy Kerrigan was hit on her knee with an iron bar by a thug. Suspicion fell on Tonya, which marked the beginning of the end of his career.
I recommend this film especially for the interpretations of the protagonist and her mother.

The Kominsky Method | Official Trailer | Netflix

I have just watched the series called "The Kominsky Method". The system that I use is: first to see the chapter in original version with English subtitles. Sometimes there are things that I don't understand. On second viewing, I do it in original version with subtitles in Spanish.
The main theme is how we've grown older. The series are eight chapters of about 23-27 minutes. Each chapter has much irony and sense of humor. I enjoyed and laughed much with the dialogues. I recommend it.
