‘You Can See Everything’ Review: Nathan Fielder’s Documentary About Elizabeth Holmes Is a Shameless, Fascinating, Reality-TV-Eats-Its-Tale Look at Entitled Duplicity

Nathan Fielder's documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, titled "You Can See Everything," has been released. The film follows Holmes in the weeks prior to her 11.25-year prison sentence in 2023, and it becomes a three-year journey into her life. According to Variety, the documentary is a "one-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus" made with a spirit of genuine inquiry.

Elizabeth Holmes was the founder of health technology company Theranos, which she started in Silicon Valley during the early 2010s. After a 2015 Wall Street Journal report revealed that Theranos' tests were inaccurate, the company quickly unraveled, and Holmes was ultimately convicted of multiple counts of wire fraud in 2022. The court found that she intentionally misled investors about Theranos' tech in order to solicit millions of dollars in funding, as reported by Mashable.

The documentary, co-directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and will receive a wide release in October. According to Consequence, the film's official plot synopsis states that Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move thirty-four days before she's sent to prison, which becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. TheWrap reports that Holmes entered prison in May 2023 and is serving out an over 11-year sentence stemming from her work at Theranos.
