Overview
- The A24 documentary You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, rests on unusually close access: Fielder lived and filmed with Elizabeth Holmes for roughly 34 days before she began serving her federal sentence and continued shooting over three years.
- The film opened broadly this month and earned about $15 million in North America on its first weekend, quickly becoming a cultural and awards-season conversation piece.
- Reviewers note the movie shifts from observational footage to staged reenactments in its later portion, with Amanda Seyfried participating after a connection arranged by Emma Stone.
- Coverage has focused on ethical questions raised by the film, including how much the subject shapes the record, where reenactment stands in relation to documentary truth, and whether the movie adequately addresses Theranos’ documented regulatory failures such as the FDA’s finding that Theranos’ finger‑prick ‘nanotainer’ was unapproved.
- Nathan Fielder has spoken with Holmes by phone after the film’s completion, she told him she ‘trusts’ him, and critics continue to dissect competing portrayals of Holmes and her partner Billy Evans as the public weighs the movie’s artful form against established reporting about Theranos.
