Overview
- A24 posted the full trailer on Wednesday, Sept. 23, and confirmed the film will screen at the New York Film Festival on Sept. 30 before opening in U.S. theaters on Oct. 16 with nationwide tickets available starting Oct. 1.
- The documentary began when Elizabeth Holmes invited filmmakers into her home 34 days before she reported to federal prison in May 2023 and the project expanded into a reported three‑ to four‑year film during which Nathan Fielder lived with Holmes and her family.
- The trailer centers on repeated, direct confrontations in the house, including Fielder asking if Holmes feels she did anything wrong and Holmes replying 'I did not,' plus scenes with her partner William 'Billy' Evans and a closeup in which Holmes cries.
- Reports list a roughly 174‑minute runtime and critics who saw the secret Telluride premiere have given the film strong early praise, fueling awards‑season conversation for Fielder and co‑director Lance Oppenheim.
- The film’s unusual access and Fielder’s history of blurring documentary and staged performance have prompted debate over consent, subject control, and whether the movie reveals or constructs truth, a debate that could shape public perception of Holmes and documentary practice going forward.
