The I, Tonya production schedule was almost outrageously compressed, squeezing 260 scenes, many
involving elaborate costume and set design changes, into 31 days.
Although this sumptuous fantasy also
involves a new Del Toro creation, a kind of Creature from the Black Lagoon - like figure played beneath the
elaborate costume by Doug Jones, this is perhaps the most human, and humane, film yet to come from the mind of Del Toro.
