The teaser trailer for the documentary “You Can See Everything” may have left you feeling uneasy, but the full-length version does not shy away from discomfort. Filmed in the 34 days leading up to Elizabeth Holmes’ imprisonment for defrauding investors with her Theranos technology claims, the documentary by Canadian filmmaker Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim is a candid exploration. Fielder, known for his satirical work on “Nathan for You,” challenges Holmes as she maintains her innocence, even shedding tears during the intense interviews.
A24, the production company, describes the film as a transformative journey into the unknown, starting with a close-up look at Holmes as a convicted felon. The trailer also touches on Holmes’ relationship with her husband, Billy Evans, who hails from a family of successful hoteliers. Their connection blossomed amid the collapse of Theranos, a company that once propelled Holmes to the status of the youngest self-made female billionaire in the U.S.
Despite her initial success, legal troubles loomed large for Holmes, culminating in criminal charges and, ultimately, a prison sentence. The documentary delves into Holmes’ personal life, including her recent experience of becoming a mother for the first time in August 2021, shortly before her conviction. Fielder’s probing questions extend to Evans, exploring his perspective on Holmes’ actions and their shared life.
As the film gears up for its theatrical release on October 16, viewers can expect an in-depth look at the complexities of Elizabeth Holmes’ story. The documentary offers a raw and unfiltered portrayal of a high-profile figure entangled in legal and personal turmoil, promising a captivating exploration of truth and consequences.
