Thirty-four days before her prison sentence, Elizabeth Holmes invites a film crew to document her life, leading to a mind-bending documentary from boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The trailer for 'You Can See Everything' was revealed at the Telluride Film Festival, featuring a teaser that hints at Holmes' innocence and Fielder's relentless questioning.
The documentary, which premiered to a packed house with no phones allowed, delves into Holmes' life as the founder of Theranos, a blood-testing startup that was exposed as a fraud. Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors and sentenced to over a decade in prison.
Fielder, known for his comedic and often surreal approach, grills Holmes and her partner Billy, revealing a mix of truth and deception. The documentary is described as a hybrid of reality and fiction, with Fielder taking a starring role as a dogged interviewer.
The film, which runs for 174 minutes, is praised for its unique blend of truth and fiction, with one reviewer comparing it to a noir film. The trailer features Holmes telling Fielder that she is always being real, a claim that has been questioned by some.
Security concerns were raised in the days leading up to the screening, with Fielder and Oppenheim known for their boundary-pushing approach. The documentary is set to be a must-watch for fans of Fielder's work and those interested in the Theranos scandal.
What's confirmed
What's still developing
- Arc System Works streamed a gameplay trailer for its upcoming Qliphah in Providence's Shadow game on Friday.
- The trailer previews gameplay mechanics where players can stack skills within a limited amount of time to deal damage to enemies and counterattack by overlapping skills.
- In the days leading up its reveal, Anne has been asked countless times by countless friends and colleagues: “Do you know what it is?” Many suspected a documentary backed by A24.
- During a Q&A with the audience after the screening, Fielder said it was hard to make sense of what they were capturing.
- “Lance and I would talk with the rest of the crew about what we thought happened or what we thought these moments meant, and no one could reach a consensus,” Fielder said.
- The camera pulls back to reveal Holmes is in her home rocking her young baby.
- Fielder, who puts the camera frequently on his own incredulous and hilarious facial expressions doesn’t hold back on challenging questions, grilling her and the narcissistic Billy who even lets the cameras watch him take a shower with nothing left to the imagination, and much more than that is revealed here as Holmes maintains her innocence, denying she ever lied or that her Theranos experiment was ever anything but completely legitimate.
- Fielder has a field day indeed grilling her and Billy who are willing, if wildly offbeat subjects here.
