Summary: In "I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale," director Richard Shepard explores Cazale's esteemed acting career, from "The Godfather" (1972) to "The Deer Hunter" (1978). Due to an early death from cancer in 1978, Cazale did not have a long career as an actor, but he certainly had an impressive one.
Streep met Cazale in the mid-1970s, she was interviewed for the documentary to touch upon their romantic relationship and their work together.
Short but not small in scope, the documentary had critics welcoming the deep dive into the actor's life and enviable career.
"This is an extraordinary work; it runs just under 40 minutes, but the devotion, adoration, love and joy expressed here is clear and true," Jeffrey M. Anderson wrote for Combustible Celluloid.
