You Can See Everything, the nearly three-hour documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is doing something nobody predicted: selling out theaters. The film follows Fielder’s 34 days with Elizabeth Holmes before she began her 10-year prison sentence for Theranos fraud, and it centers on a claim that’s hard to shake. Holmes tells Fielder she has never knowingly told a single lie. Whether that’s deception or self-delusion is the question the movie keeps circling.
The second half takes a turn. With Holmes absent, Amanda Seyfried, who played her in The Dropout, reenacts Fielder’s conversations with Holmes and her partner Billy Evans. A staged prison visit and footage that blurs truth and fabrication make the whole thing feel like a reality-TV experiment about documentary ethics. Slate’s review frames it as a meditation on trust: whether anyone can truly know another person’s heart.
There’s also a furtive hint of romance between Fielder and Holmes that has the internet buzzing. The film has turned a notorious fraud case into something people are debating on the way out of the theater. So we have to ask: can you love someone you can’t understand? Tell us your take.
