Lizzie Gottlieb

Her most recent film, Turn Every Page, is a documentary about her father, the editor Robert Gottlieb, and the author Robert Caro, which follows the two men as they methodically work to complete the final, fifth volume of Caro's Lyndon Johnson biography. The film premiered in June 2022 at the Tribeca Film Festival. Caro, 86, and Bob Gotltieb, 91, have worked together for five decades, starting with Caro's biography of Robert Moses, The Power Broker, and continuing through Caro's first four volumes about Lyndon B. Johnson. Though they originally declined to be the subject of the documentary, after some convincing, Lizzie Gottlieb began filming them in 2016. The story focuses on finishing the book rather than a history of their lives. The film was purchased by Sony Pictures Classics and will have a theatrical release starting on December 30, 2022.

Her film Romeo Romeo follows a young lesbian couple as they try to have a baby. It's a story of a marriage, a heartbreak, and a commitment to a dream, with a surprise ending. It also aired on PBS (America Reframed) and it won the 2017 NLGJA award for Excellence in Documentary.

Gottlieb's first feature documentary, Today's Man, follows her brother Nicky, who is on the Autism Spectrum. The film follows him as Nicky tries to leave the safety of his childhood home and find his place in the world. Gottlieb documents the trials, fears, joys and triumphs of this journey. The film aired on PBS (Independent Lens) in January 2008, after six years of filming and played at festivals and conferences around the world.
