Almost no one knew Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim had made a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes until its trailer dropped yesterday.
The nearly three-hour film, You Can See Everything, which premieres in theaters in October, is already turning heads at the Telluride Film Festival—and reportedly offers few easy answers.
The A24 project received positive reaction at the festival. Reviewers like Pete Hammond of Deadline say that viewers are in for unexpected twists.
The movie was shot over two years, starting in 2023, and follows Holmes as she prepares to begin her 11-year prison sentence in Texas. It then shifts to a twist-heavy second act two years later.
The disgraced Theranos founder was sentenced in 2022 on four counts of defrauding investors of nearly $1 billion. She falsely claimed her company’s devices could run hundreds of tests using only a few drops of blood.
Her investors included Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch.
The indie movie hits different mainly because Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, gave the filmmakers unprecedented 12-hours-a-day access to their San Diego home. Fielder lived with them and their two kids for several days.
He grills Holmes on her innocence, examines Theranos machinery retrieved from storage bins, and even accompanies her on the drive to prison.
Fielder digs into the Theranos saga, questioning whether Holmes pulled the strings or was being controlled.
