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.

Both the screening on Jan 24 and 25 at 7pm at IFC will have a Q&A with director Bruce David Klein.

This film was shown last night at the Jacob Burns Film Center, in Pleasantville NY. (The director spoke afterwards.) Very well done, poignant and funny at times. If it comes out on DVD, I hope they can include more of the rare performance footage as an extra -- Mr. Klein said they have "thousands" of hours of material, but could only use a fraction of it in the movie.

I hope there's not too much Michael Feinstein. I find him nauseating.

Not a fan of his either.  But unfortunately.. it is what it is.

Is there any discussion in the documentary that might shed some light on why she has never received a well deserved Kennedy Center Honor?

I was told there’s a 25 minute section devoted just to this. Caroline Kennedy is interviewed in this section.

I saw this last weekend at IFC. Sorry to disappoint, but there's no mention of the Kennedy Center Honors.

So is it in-depth on the subject? I like Minelli as a performer, but in interviews, her answers are almost always guarded or she seems so disconnected from reality that there's no substance there. Very "show biz" in the pejorative sense of that term.

Same old guarded stories.  Momma was funny.  I tripped over the dog dish and broke my hip last week.  Or I fell and broke my back.  Or I can't move because of all my Fosse moves.  Don't expext anything real and you will be in for a treat.

Isn't if curious the way she always says "Momma was funny" but NEVER gives examples? I guess the "I got rainbows coming out of my ass" is one, but as far as I know, it's the only one.

It is such a shame because she is so talented and has had such a interesting life.  But throughout the years she has ( with the help of enablers) created her own very limited truth.  When she dies and someone brave enough out of her circle has something to share.. we might get something truthful about this extraordinary life.

So disappointing but not surprised. Love, love her, but she has a very complicated relationship with the truth.

East Side Story, oh wow.  I haven't seen it yet, as I'll be seeing the doc on Friday of next week.  Did you see it?  Does she lie about certain events?

Her glory days were her early days.  Most people who win Kennedy Center Honors did great work for decades and remained influential, often even active, until being honored.

She won everything else in her first 10 years in the biz, which is a pretty amazing accomplishment in and of itself.
