Bruce David Klein | USA | 2024 | 104m
with Liza Minnelli

This star-studded tribute brings into focus the dazzling, complex period of Liza Minnelli’s life starting in the 1970s — just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland — as she confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a bona fide legend. Over these years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse.

With insightful participation from a coterie of colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with the revelatory participation by the star herself, the film illuminates the contradiction of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unreal expectations and towering talent.

With a selection of fantastic archival footage of her performances across stage and screen, this doc reveals the friction that fuelled her stunning rise, her resilience, and her enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in the history of entertainment.

“Fizzy, determinedly upbeat...jaw-dropping.” - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

“Bruce David Klein’s outstanding documentary puts the star back on screen and forever in our hearts...a joyous tribute to a legend. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll belt out the lyrics. It has all the elements of a winner, just like Liza.” - Liz Whittemore, Alliance of Women Film Journalists

“A candid new documentary peels back the sequins to reveal the heartbreak, triumphs and unrelenting resilience of an icon who’s still standing—heels, hurdles and all.” - Rex Reed, Observer
