CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on December 8th, 2022, reviewing “Sr.,” a documentary about Robert Downey “Sr,” produced by Robert Downey Jr. Currently streaming on Netflix.

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 4.0/5.0
Rating: 4.0/5.0

The film is about Downey Senior’s film career and contributions, as well as the final days of his life, as he passed due to Parkinson’s Disease in 2021, with his son by his side. What is interesting about this document, of course, is that it’s both a son doing a story about his father and both the father and son are famous for being involved in film. Thus their lives are totally chronicled, including Downey Junior’s first appearance in his Dad’s film POUND, about a group of dogs portrayed by humans in captivity.

”Sr.” is currently streaming on Netflix. Featuring interviews and appearances by Robert Downey Sr., Robert Downey Jr., Alan Arkin, Norman Lear, Paul Thomas Anderson and Sean Hayes. Directed by Chris Smith. Rated “R”
