Like Father. Like Son. Like No Other. "Sr." is a lovingly irreverent portrait of the life and career of maverick filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. that quickly devolves into a meditation on art, mortality, and healing generational dysfunction. Directed by Chris Smith (American Movie, Fyre)

"Sr." | Robert Downey Jr. | Official Trailer | Netflix

Robert Downey Jr. pays tribute to his late father in this documentary chronicling the life and eclectic career of pioneering filmmaker Robert Downey Sr.

[sainandshinde]

this the sweetest thing an actor could do for his father.

[elkewheeler]

holy moly. RDJ is not losing the second chance he's been given. What a journey. What an inspiration. What an incredible thing to witness.

[Freeden]

This is such a wonderful gift to give to his father. Not many people knew who he was and his passing largely went unnoticed. I hope that people watch this and learn. I have a feeling this will make me shed a few tears.

[dasupertramp]

Because of Sr we almost lost Jr, but it's also because of Sr that we have Jr, the man and the actor. RDJ having such love and forgiveness for his dad, when most people would be full of anger and resentment, tells me everything I need to know about him. He is an inspiration in many ways.

[nuevillanueva]

With all the journalists trying to jump him with intrusive questions about personal life and past mistakes over the years I'm glad there will be a part in this where he can address it in his own way. Man, this doc is going to be a tear jerker.

[roshrosh]

As someone who lost his father last year. I have so many regrets, not knowing him more, not treating him right enough, not thanking him enough. Maybe in RDJ's case, this is his own way of immortalizing his father's memories. And a reminder for us all.

[JimmyPlaylists]

Robert Downey Sr. was so far ahead of his time as a indie filmmaker... his work is absolutely _incredible!_

[Mr_Demeanor]

I love that he just wanted to make something like a love letter to the world for his dad 😁

[maryjenkins]

This was absolutely beautifully done. Not only did I get to meet his genuine dad, but I learned so much more about Jr and just love him more than ever now. What an incredible tribute to his dad, and the music was PERFECTION. What a man!!!

[mrssmith]

I cannot imagine the good soul and kind heart it takes to come full circle and forgive and love someone who damaged and hurt you so. What a guy Jr is.

[forgottenalex]

As someone that lost their father 2 years ago from stomach cancer. I would give anything to have something like this to know more of who my dad was.

[sophiaisabelle]

Downey Sr seems like a very humble and down to earth person. He’s been through so much in his life, and he’s still moving forward with his life as if he had aged younger in this. Downey Jr certainly knows how to touch other people’s minds and hearts through the process of filmmaking.

[yeehawshady]

RDJ has played Tony Stark as a resentful son who didn't get to spend a lot of time with his father. As that same character, he was also a loving father who had to leave his daughter to save the world. RDJ has also portrayed a complex father-son relationship in The Judge, and he also played Chaplin, who was abandoned by his father at a very young age. When I see this series, I think I'm gonna be reminded of all these past roles and it's gonna be very emotional

[vincentlacaca]

My dad just passed away in August this year. He was a huge fan of these men. I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch this without bawling. Rest in peace dad. I miss you everyday.

[Glostahdude]

I can’t wait for this. Always been a big Robert Downey fan. And his son has redeemed himself. Turned his life completely around. Much admiration and respect to Robert Jr. as well! This is going to be a crazy emotional ride I sense.

[RippedMonsterBEAST]

My dad passed away when i was 13 this looks amazing my dad was my best friend and my hero i can already guarantee this will definitely make me cry

[kifayatmalik]

Thank you Robert Downey Sr for giving us RDJ. Life would've ordinary without him

[NiquidFox]

If I had the money to, I’d do something like this for my pops too. The sentiment of this documentary alone has me choking up. The love between a father and son is indescribable

[jasonrobertson]

When he says "you never know the hour & the day" hits me hard because last summer my Dad got diagnosed with cancer because his shoulder broke (exactly where mine did 15 years ago) and they found tumor, he did radiation & then after the docs were talking 85% reduction so far, possible full remission. Then 2 weeks later his back hurt, turned out after radiation there were 12 more different places the day before Father's Day, they gave him 12-18 months. He died 4 days later, not 12-18 months.
Never know the hour or the day. 😞
