‘You Can See Everything’ Review: The buzzy Elizabeth Holmes documentary is worth the hype
The reviewer argues that Nathan Fielder’s documentary about Elizabeth Holmes is an unusual, gripping film that plays like a mystery thriller and challenges documentary conventions. It matters because Holmes, a convicted Theranos fraudster, gives the filmmakers unusually close access while still maintaining her innocence.
Fielder and co-director Lance Oppenheim filmed Holmes, her husband Billy Evans and their two young children during the 34 days before she began an 11-year prison sentence in 2023. The nearly three-hour film follows the couple as they consider a comeback, while also making viewers question the people on camera and the filmmakers themselves; the reviewer praises its editing, cinematography and score and gives it four stars.
