‘You Can See Everything’ Review: Elizabeth Holmes Doc From Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim Is Fascinatingly Slippery, Dizzyingly Clever

The film — a surprise world premiere at Telluride — picks up the story of the disgraced Theranos founder in the weeks leading up to her prison sentence, and then again two years into her incarceration.

A new documentary, "You Can See Everything," explores the story of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, a blood testing company that unraveled after a 2015 Wall Street Journal report revealed inaccurate test results. According to IndieWire, the film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, challenges what viewers may think they know about Holmes, the convicted fraudster.

The documentary follows Holmes in the weeks leading up to her prison sentence and then again two years into her incarceration, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Variety describes the film as a unique blend of reality TV and psychodrama, driven by Fielder's inquiring temperament.

Mashable reports that Holmes was convicted of multiple counts of wire fraud in 2022 for intentionally misleading investors about Theranos' technology to solicit millions of dollars in funding. The documentary, set to release in October, appears to present a complex and possibly conflicting portrayal of Holmes, with Mashable noting that she seems to have a different opinion on what happened.
