## Key points

- A new film revisits Elizabeth Holmes before prison.
- The review calls its portrayal shallow and overpraised.
- Holmes was convicted on four counts in the Theranos case.

## Summary

Elizabeth Holmes is the subject of a new film, *You Can See Everything*, which follows the final days before she went to prison. The review argues that the film’s surreal style and deliberate ambiguity have attracted more praise than its shallow portrayal of Holmes warrants, potentially allowing her familiar self-justifications to win over viewers again.

Holmes founded Theranos, once valued at $9 billion, before allegations of fraud over its blood-testing device led to a trial. She was convicted on four counts and sentenced to 11 years in prison. The review notes that whistleblowers Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung exposed the company’s lies, and points to earlier accounts including Alex Gibney’s documentary *The Inventor* and the series *The Dropout*.
