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--the friction of which fueled her stunning rise, resilience and her enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in the history of entertainment.
"A film that deploys a wealth of great archival material plus intimate access to the subject and those closest to her to build a gorgeous portrait of a legendary showbiz survivor, warmly celebratory but also unquestionably authentic"
- THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"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
3/4 "LIZA has an affectionate tone and a lightness of style, which seems appropriate to the subject, even with its heavy passages about drugs/miscarriages/burnout."
- ROGEREBERT.COM
"As a document of Liza's triumphs, talent and temperament, though, "Liza" is, like its subject, disarmingly sweet and completely lovable."
- WALL STREET JOURNAL
4/4 "LIZA captures an attractive swath of show business history and reminds us of Minnelli's accomplishments, which were significant."
- SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
