You Can See Everything Review

"You Can See Everything" hits theaters on October 15, presenting a staggering and unnerving documentary about Silicon Valley and the elusive nature of human connection. The film centers around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who allowed filmmakers access for about a month before her prison sentence began in 2023. However, it delves deeper into questions of her culpability, the concept of cults of personality, cultural myths, and Fielder's own work and TV persona.

With a runtime of nearly three hours, "You Can See Everything" presents an eerie filmmaking style through suffocating 4:3 close-ups and shadowy visuals, creating an atmosphere of invasive surveillance and relentless chase. Despite being composed of simple conversations, the film's approach feels like a masterful sleight of hand. The story begins at a beachside home in San Diego, rented by Holmes and her husband Billy Evans, a man obsessed with collecting audio material at double speed.

As the documentary unfolds, Fielder probes Holmes and Evans through intimate sit-downs and conversations. His presence, awkward and lumbering, adds to the film's surreal and unsettling nature. Despite the saturation and Oppenheim's Chris Hansen drama, Holmes' deep blue eyes remain a significant challenge for Fielder, who consistently extends her the benefit of doubt, hoping to unravel the tightly-wound thread of her story.
