If you are looking for some kind of lightweight, Entertainment Tonight type profile of Downey, this isn't your film.
This is a warts and all documentary about Downey's life, the life of his filmmaker father and their relationship. It's quite informal and filled with all kinds of retakes, discussion of camera angles etc. They are both working on a film, during the course of this film.
Downey comes across as very down to earth, happy and kind. His father who is in his eighties, is similarly nice. They seem to have a remarkable relationship and appear to be each other's best friends.
I came away with a completely different opinion of Downey. My previous opinion of him was a function of some of the roles that he has had plus his struggles with drugs. In reality he is nothing like I thought he would be. He is a dramatically better human being.
A thoroughly enjoyable film but probably a little informal and unfocused for some people. NOT a Hollywood film.
