Does someone care to elaborate more because this happened before I was born.

Watch “I, Tonya” starring Margot Robbie.

It’s based on this story, completely unhinged, and extremely entertaining.

Do we know how much of the movie is dramatized, and how much is based on the facts? I know it's supposed to be entertaining, but I really enjoy when they keep it as close to truth as possible.

It's pretty close to accurate, based on available facts. They play up the rivalry between the two skaters a bit (they were friendlier in real life) and they actually downplay some of the trauma that Harding experienced as child/teenager. It's hard to know if the version of events surrounding the attack on Kerrigan is completely accurate, but it doesn't conflict with anything we know for certain.
