Elizabeth Holmes's Partner Draws Attention in New Documentary
Confirmed
In Short: Holmes and Evans' relationship has drawn significant attention, with Evans, 34, coming from a wealthy San Diego hotel family and standing by Holmes as her blood-testing startup Theranos collapsed and she was convicted in 2022.
The actress who portrayed Elizabeth Holmes in 'The Dropout' was hesitant to weigh in on Nathan Fielder's new documentary about the disgraced Theranos founder.
Later, after Holmes begins her 11-year prison sentence, Fielder calls upon Amanda Seyfried to act as a stand-in for Holmes.
As 'You Can See Everything' opens in theaters today, Oct. 16, searches about Holmes' family and release date are climbing.
Holmes and Evans met in 2017 at a Fleet Week charity event and share two young children.
Holmes and Evans' relationship has drawn significant attention, with Evans, 34, coming from a wealthy San Diego hotel family and standing by Holmes as her blood-testing startup Theranos collapsed and she was convicted in 2022.

What this adds
The film's success has been attributed to Nathan Fielder's reputation as a must-watch filmmaker and Elizabeth Holmes remaining an object of cultural interest.
Holmes and Evans' relationship dynamics are explored in depth, with Evans showing signs of posturing and increasingly intense post-'woke' radicalization.
Background
The documentary 'You Can See Everything' focuses on Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans in the weeks before Holmes' prison sentence.
What's confirmed
- First up is the breakout hit of Telluride, the audacious Elizabeth Holmes doc “You Can See Everything.” The film from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim premiered as a “secret screening” at the Colorado festival and earned rave reviews and swift proclamations that it could contend in both best documentary and best picture races.
What's still developing
- That catapulted the film from zero awareness to wide awareness, which was then fed by the combination of Nathan Fielder, who has built a reputation as a wily, must-watch filmmaker with shows like Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, and Elizabeth Holmes remaining an object of cultural interest.
- That means that Everything averaged $17,543 per theater, while Street Fighter averaged almost less than half that at $8,671 per theater.

- Alex Gibney ’s 2019 documentary explores how Holmes built her billion-dollar company on promises its technology couldn’t deliver — and the Silicon Valley culture that helped her get away with it.
- Afterward, he shows repeated signs (uncommented upon by Oppenheim or Fielder) of posturing but increasingly intense post-“woke” radicalization: he spends time at a shooting range, claims to carry a gun everywhere, volunteers that he’s a fan of Charlie Kirk and brags about his own supposed vindictiveness.
- It’s something that feels inconsequential at first—a small battle Holmes is eager to win as she continues the legal losing streak that will land her in jail some 30 days later.
- “Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move,” a press release from A24 reads.
- Set us as preferred Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Reckoning,” a sequel to 2010’s David Fincher-directed “The Social Network,” is hitting theaters as part of a surge of tech geek takedowns that includes documentaries on Elon Musk and Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes, as well as Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming comedy “Artificial” about OpenAI’s Sam Altman.
