Therapist Flags Elizabeth Holmes' 6-Hour Documentary Behavior as Unsettling 34 Days Before Prison

Summary
Morgan Starr-Riestis, a therapist trained in body language and nervous-system regulation, said “You Can See Everything” leaves too few reliable cues to judge what is real about Elizabeth Holmes.
Holmes’ wide, unblinking stare reads as a “dissociative gaze” linked to fear or overwhelm, Starr-Riestis said, while her warm words and intense expression create a mismatch that puts viewers on alert.
Nathan Fielder’s flat delivery and long pauses add to that unease, she said, because the film strips away the social signals people usually use to interpret conversations.
Billy Evans also drew scrutiny: Starr-Riestis said Holmes’ fiancé often seemed to stare off, suppress anger and leave the room, reinforcing tension that Amanda Seyfried’s more readable “warmth” later contrasts with.
The six-hour documentary opens 34 days before Holmes reports to prison after her 2022 conviction on four fraud counts tied to Theranos, and it has already sparked debate over whether she is naive, manipulative or still lying.
