Billy Evans Addresses Amanda Seyfried’s Portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in ‘You Can See Everything’: She Was ‘Eager’ to ‘Play a Character’

Billy Evans has criticised Amanda Seyfried’s portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in the documentary “You Can See Everything”, saying he was glad the film included her because it showed the difference between Holmes and Seyfried playing a character. His comments matter because they add to the public disagreement over the film, which examines Holmes and her partner’s experience around the Theranos founder.

In a CBS News interview, Evans said he was “glad Nathan was there to help her” when asked whether Seyfried played Holmes well, but declined to speak badly about others. Seyfried has said she had no approval over filming and that her view of Evans worsened during production. The documentary, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, was in development for more than three years and was filmed a month before Holmes began an 11-year prison sentence; A24 is submitting it for several Academy Awards, while Seyfried is being campaigned for supporting actress.
