The documentary Sr. centers around the relationship between filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. and his son Robert Downey Jr. While we know Downey Jr. best for playing Iron Man (Tony Stark)and Sherlock Holmes, this is a biographical documentary that’s as much of an impassioned tribute of a son to his father as it is a first-hand account of the close relati...
