Cassavetes fans will want to see this of course, but for a 3.5 hour documentary, it feels awfully light on analysis and awfully heavy on fawning from friends and admirers. Suffers from (I'm guessing) only having access to clips from the films in the Criterion collection, which leaves a few not insignificant gaps. Yes, you come away having even more affection for the man than you might have already, but the definitive Cassavetes documentary still remains to be made.

John Cassavetes is the coolest guy ever.

I didn't think I'd make it through a 200-minute documentary about Cassavetes, but the time flew rather quickly. A nice tribute.
