Overview
- Amanda Seyfried told Rolling Stone this week that she was left stunned by an “aggressive” dinner-table exchange with Elizabeth Holmes’s partner Billy Evans while filming reconstructed scenes for You Can See Everything.
- Billy Evans told CBS Sunday Morning on Friday that he “loves” the three-hour documentary even though he believes the final edit makes him look “crazy” and would have preferred a different portrayal.
- The film mixes embedded footage shot in Holmes’s Del Mar home before her prison sentence with staged reenactments that secretly feature Seyfried reprising her Dropout role, and it has earned more than $80 million and intense awards-season attention.
- Evans says he did not consent to the film’s full-frontal shower scene and asked for pixelation while co-director Lance Oppenheim has said the shower idea came from Evans, creating a direct clash over consent and control.
- Reporters and industry groups are now focused on the CBS interview set to air this weekend, on rights and profit claims from subjects, and on how the film’s hybrid methods could shape documentary ethics and awards rules going forward.
