Sr. 2022

 

Sr. 

Robert Downey Jr. turns the camera on himself and his father, the iconic cult filmmaker Robert Downey Sr., in Netflix’ “Sr.” From Variety’s review: “’Fyre’ director Chris Smith lets underground movie icon Robert Downey Sr. have a hand in shaping how his life will be remembered in this unexpectedly revealing documentary…

                    

it’s a a loose seemingly seat-of-your-pants portrait of the antiestablishment director (perhaps best known for siring ‘Iron Man’ star Robert Downey Jr.) that sneaks up on you, emotionally speaking, 

seeing as how it doubles as a kind of farewell exercise between the two generations (plus grandson Exton) in the months before Downey succumbed to Parkinson’s Disease.”
