Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story centers around the dazzling and complex period of Liza Minnelli's life in the 1970s. Following the tragic death of her mother, the movie also shines a light on her extraordinary mentors which include Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse, and features participation from many friends who know her well –  Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, along with the star herself.

The film, a production of Atlas Media Corp, makes its way onto the silver screen via Zeitgeist Films in association with Kino Lorber. The movie opened Jan. 24, 2025 at IFC Center in New York, Jan. 31 at Laemmle’s Royal in Los Angeles and Town Center in Encino, and is also screening regionally.
