Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Readies U.S. Release

The film’s unusually intimate production raises ethical questions about how close documentarians can get to their subjects.

Overview

  • You Can See Everything opens in U.S. theaters on Oct. 16 after surprise screenings at the Telluride Film Festival and showings at the New York Film Festival and the Academy Museum.
  • Directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and a small crew lived and filmed inside Elizabeth Holmes’s San Diego home for roughly 34–35 days in 2023 and continued shooting across about three years.
  • Fielder appears on camera and the film uses close-ups, staged set pieces, and formal devices that reviewers say blur the line between performance and documentary truth.
  • Communication with Holmes’s partner, Billy Evans, broke down during finishing, Evans attempted to exert control over the edit, and neither Evans nor Holmes has seen the completed film with Holmes still serving her sentence.
  • At 174 minutes the doc is generating awards discussion and strong ticket presales at some chains, with outlets noting unusually high demand for an A24 documentary.
