A nearly three-hour documentary about Elizabeth Holmes is packing multiplexes, and if that sounds like a sentence from an alternate timeline, welcome to October 2026.“You Can See Everything,”directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, follows Holmes through the 34 days before she reports to prison, with full access that includes filming inside her home alongside partner Billy Evans.
The film’s best-kept secret is now out: Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes in“The Dropout,”takes over the second half as Fielder’s onscreen sounding board. Early audiences were asked to keep her involvement quiet, which somehow worked until now. Meanwhile, Fielder keeps stepping in front of the camera to press Holmes on her lies, and she maintains she defrauded investors but not patients and never tried to deceive anyone.
What makes the whole thing land is the question Fielder raises himself: either she’s fully sincere, or she might be the most manipulative person who’s ever lived. The film doesn’t answer that for you. Have you seen it yet, and which side are you landing on?
