Liza Minnelli Documentary Begins Regional Screenings

LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story is beginning to screen at select locations in the United States. The film, a documentary centering on Broadway legend Liza Minnelli, is having its first January screening tonight at The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival in Florida.

Beginning tomorrow January 24, the movie will open at IFC Center New York City and on January 31 will open at Laemmle’s Royal in Los Angeles and Town Center in Encino, California, with a national rollout to follow.

In a new social media post, Minnelli encouraged fans to see the film, noting the positive response it has received from festival screenings: "Directed by Bruce David Klein featuring my baby, genius and artist Michael Feinstein, my darling sister Lorna, who deserves a documentary all her own, and others. After fun sneak peeks at fabulous film festivals across the country, it’s finally opening in theaters tomorrow! I’m so excited to be back on tour - at the cinema!"

The documentary brings the dazzling, complex period of Liza’s life in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother, into focus. Liza confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a bonafide legend. Over the years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. They all help her transform from a performer with boundless raw talent and famous parents into a mature, beautifully polished, superstar of stage and screen.

Liza takes the world by storm in films ("Cabaret", "New York, New York", "Arthur"), television specials ("Liza with a Z"), concerts (Carnegie Hall, Radio City), and Broadway shows ("The Act", "Chicago", "Liza’s at the Palace"). Her influence extends into fashion, nightlife, art and culture. Along the way, Liza earned an Oscar, an Emmy, four Tonys, a Grammy – and the undeniable status of living legend. The movie features interviews with Minnelli, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Lorna Luft and more. The world premiere screening of the film took place in 2024 at the Tribeca Film Festival. Read the reviews here and watch the trailer below.
