Sentences with phrase «tells axels»

Not exact matches

If «I, Tonya» is supposed to be a corrective to two decades of tabloid fascination with Harding and her role in the assault of figure skating competitor Nancy Kerrigan — as characters frequently break the fourth wall to tell us, either in faux - documentary interview sequences or in the middle of scenes — it doesn't quite stick the landing of that particular triple axel.
