‘You Can See Everything’ Review: The Year’s Most Original Movie Will Make You Question Reality

Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s documentary follows disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before she was due to report to prison. By giving the filmmakers access to her private life and account of events, Holmes creates an unsettling portrait of how she is seen by others and how readily viewers may still find her persuasive. The review calls the nearly three-hour film unusually original and says it could gain awards attention, including a possible Best Picture nomination.

Holmes was living in Del Mar, California, with her children and partner Billy Evans when filming began in spring 2023; she was facing an 11-year sentence, later reduced by nearly half. The film shows everyday scenes alongside the couple’s plans to revive Theranos technology, which had promised many blood tests from a small sample and was widely debunked. Holmes was convicted of conspiracy to defraud investors and multiple counts of wire fraud. The article also notes the film’s strong early reviews, including a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and a Metacritic score of 98 at the time of writing.
