Elizabeth Holmes documentary trailer hits 4 million views in one day

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, is making headlines once again with the release of a full trailer for her documentary, titled "You Can See Everything." The trailer skyrocketed to over 3.9 million views on YouTube within just one day of its release, indicating a strong initial response from viewers.

The documentary, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, was filmed over a three-year period in secret. It features Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim closely following Holmes for about a month, a period that coincided with Holmes' preparations to report to prison. The film is slated to be released in theaters on October 16, but it has already generated significant buzz among audiences.

The official logline of the film describes it as an "intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon" that transforms into a "mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss." The filmmakers reportedly gained unprecedented access to Holmes, leading to jaw-dropping revelations and surprises throughout the film. Critics have praised the unique filmmaking techniques employed, calling it "unlike any I have ever seen in terms of pure access."

Furthermore, some of the insiders who have seen the film have expressed their admiration for it. Pete Hammond from Deadline described the film as having "some astonishing twists and turns and jaw-dropping surprises." Holmes, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for fraud related to her former blood-testing startup, is set to be transferred to a halfway house in Del Valle, Texas, in August 2027, according to ABC News.
