SR. (Video Release World-Wide 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Sr.—great camera work—uses black and white effects which allow a unique audience focus on dialogue rather than being distracted by color. The movie is like a whole that has been fragmented into many pieces which the audience needs to make into a whole…much in the same way as one would study a Picasso piece of art and may try to piece it back together for understanding. Director Chris Smith fabulously catches the dichotomy between two lives and the way they affect each other and the preparatory work that leads to Jr. Downey’s terrific success as an actor. Be aware this movie is intensely personal and sentimental. The final scenes are particularly moving and Downey Jr.s’ final concluding lines warrant the entire watch.

Thank you to Director Chris Smith for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Emily Barclay Ford, and Kevin Ford for making the film possible. Cast includes: Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Downey Sr. 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. The movie has been formatted in a type of collage and becomes particularly interesting in that it raises more questions than it answers. It particularly is of interest to persons who wish to know more about the Downey family.
