This star-studded tribute chronicles the dazzling and complex period of Liza Minnelli’s life, beginning in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland — as she faced many personal and professional challenges on her way to becoming a bona fide legend. Over the years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With a thoughtful cast of colleagues including Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, the film illuminates the contradictions of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, her strength and vulnerability, her unrealistic expectations and her immense talent — the frictions that led to her astonishing rise, resilience, and her enduring place as one of the greatest and most original performers in entertainment history.
