Summary
You Can See Everything made its world premiere Sunday as Telluride’s secret screening, drawing the festival’s biggest lines so far and requiring attendees to check in their phones.
A24’s documentary follows Elizabeth Holmes over a three-year period after she invited a skeptical film crew to record her every move 34 days before reporting to prison.
A teaser released Sunday night shows Holmes denying deception and insisting she is “always being real”; the film is scheduled for release in October.
Holmes, once hailed in 2015 as the youngest self-made female billionaire in the U.S., was convicted in 2018 of defrauding Theranos investors and is serving a sentence of just over 11 years.
