Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
Liza Minnelli was born into showbiz, essentially, given her parents were Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli . Her acting career technically began as far back as 1949, when she was just three years old, but she made a name for herself throughout the 1960s and 1970s, partly due to her movie roles, though she was also active on stage, on TV, and as a singer.
It can’t be considered one of the best films either of the aforementioned Minnellis were involved in, but it still has some things to offer; namely, two pretty good lead performances and some creative visuals, the latter of which could usually be expected from Vincente Minnelli. A Matter of Time is a bit floaty and aimless, but the unique blend of fantasy elements with some musical numbers gives it a strange and somewhat interesting feel. It’s not great, but neither is it worthless.
Instead, The Sterile Cuckoo is more of a drama with some comedic elements, telling a story about two unusual young people who fall in love and deal with the ups and downs that come with it, as well as dealing with the ways they don’t feel they fit into society at large. Though the non-Minnelli parts of the film aren’t bad, she’s the main reason to check this one out, and deservedly the most praised part of The Sterile Cuckoo overall.
Sometimes, New York, New York is considered one of Scorsese’s weakest movies, but that might say more about how good his others are than it does suggest this one’s bad. It’s certainly flawed, but De Niro is uncompromisingly cruel and terrifying as one half of the film’s central couple, while Minnelli matches his commitment but plays a gentler character; someone whose life is tumultuous and challenging, but one she endures through nonetheless.
