Nathan Fielder’s 3-Hour Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Premieres at NY Film Fest

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Oct 1

Summary

  • You Can See Everything debuted Wednesday at the New York Film Festival, unveiling Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s three-hour documentary built around Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans.
  • 2023 footage drives the film: Holmes, awaiting the start of her 11-year prison sentence, invited cameras into the family’s home to argue her innocence and potentially reset her image after Theranos.
  • Fielder’s on-camera questioning becomes the engine of the film, turning Holmes’s attempt at self-rehabilitation into a tense, self-referential clash over trust, performance and who is manipulating whom.
  • The premiere capped weeks of buzz fueled by a one-minute Holmes-Fielder clip, and the film is set for U.S. release on Oct. 16, with UK and Australian dates still unannounced.
