Scott L @ScottDavid Jul 28, 2026 This documentary is almost as bad as the subject's films... See more James W @James5353 Jul 10, 2026 Narcissistic bio. You see why both father and son are dysfunctional in life. Sr was beyond strange and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Gets a little touching near the end but ending flops hard.

Jarvis: "Heck yeah sir 🥹" See more cyprien N @cyprien Jul 7, 2026 Sr is a touching and beautifully made documentary it doesn't just tell the story of a filmmaker it gives you a glimpse into the relationship between a father and son, filled with honesty humor and emotion even if you're not familiar with robert downey Sr.'s work the film feels personal and authentic it left me appreciating the importance of creativity family and making the most of the time we have with the people we love.

See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger Jan 18, 2024 What begins as a retrospective of a career in film soon becomes an amazingly personal and eventually emotionally devastating tribute by a son about his father. Downey, Sr. was never a widely known filmmaker to the general public as he spent most of his years making underground movies many people probably never heard of. The time in this documentary devoted to his filmography will most likely not be of much interest to the average filmgoer. However, as the film progresses, and we witness the deterioration of the elder Downey's health, any of us who have lost a loved one - particularly a parent - will inevitably relate to many of the painfully personal moments captured on film. I suppose some may question putting on celluloid something as private and intimate as a dying man's final days. But there is nothing here that feels exploitative, and there's a certain poignancy of two people obviously in love with the art of filmmaking using it to encapsulate a lifetime of success, failure and regret. As someone caring for an elderly father, there are moments here that hit almost too close to home. I don't know if I would ever want to watch it again, but I'm glad I had the experience.
