Review of "Sr." (2022) by Liamexe — 02 Dec 2022
The tribute film "Sr." by Robert Downey Jr. to his deceased father, director Robert Downey Sr., is the stuff of fantasies; it features a freewheeling, loopy storyline that, like those of his father's movies, doesn't so much unfold as disintegrate.
The chronology of Downey's brief career, from "Chafed Elbows" in 1966 to "Putney Swope" in 1969, the movie for which he is best remembered (accepted to the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress; an argument can be made for "Greaser's Palace" from 1972, a worthy film, fully realised, and borderline coherent), provides a thread that unites this story, though.
