“You Can See Everything” and the nature of liars

You Can See Everything, the latest film by Nathan Fielder, is a documentary about the infamous fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans. Fielder, a fan of Fielder's work, found the film as good as expected and explored the nature of lying, belief, and human communication. The movie, based on the Theranos scandal, shows Holmes as a deliberate liar and prolific manipulator, though it does not delve into the extensive history of her deceit.

Fielder's aim is to challenge Holmes, rather than provide outside evidence of her lies, by filming her in her own environment and having her present herself in the way she wishes to be seen. The film highlights Holmes' unique ability to manipulate the truth, making deception feel as natural as breathing, thus proving herself to be a formidable opponent in the narrative battle.
