This star-studded tribute shines a light on the dazzling and complex period of Liza Minnelli’s life that began in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland, as she faced a series of personal and professional challenges on the path to becoming a true legend. Over the years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston and Bob Fosse. With insightful input from a coterie of colleagues including Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, as well as revealing input from the star herself, the film illuminates the contradictions of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unrealistic expectations and immense talent – the friction of which fueled her breathtaking rise, resilience and enduring place as one of the greatest and most original performers in entertainment history.
