‘You Can See Everything’ Is a Gothic Romance for the Ages

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s hybrid documentary *You Can See Everything* is framed as a Gothic romance, using the story of Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans to unsettle ideas about truth, performance and authenticity. The film’s confined settings and close scrutiny turn domestic life into a psychological chamber, while its shifting loyalties make viewers question who is manipulating whom.

Holmes is filmed shortly before beginning her prison sentence, and actress Amanda Seyfried, who previously played her in *The Dropout*, appears as her double in staged scenes and conversations. Fielder joins Holmes, Evans and Seyfried in a series of encounters that blur documentary and performance, including a sequence in which Evans turns Holmes into a hologram. The article argues that the film draws its audience into this uncertainty, leaving them less certain of what they have seen the closer they look.
