Rittenhouse Square
Time Out says
Robert Downey Sr.'s documentary about the eponymous Philadelphia park isn't as
strange as his psychedelic 1969 satire, Putney Swope—and really, what
is?—but it's a mighty odd bird. Neither a history lesson nor an organized look
at the contemporary life of a public space, it merely collects breezy interviews
with people who frequent the green space. An inordinate amount of focus is put
on old men who go there to ogle young women. As the film progresses, Downey
tries to imbue the park with a significance that he hasn't actually unearthed.
