Nathan Fielder's New Elizabeth Holmes Film Has Everyone Arguing Over One Scene

Nathan Fielder’s new filmYou Can See Everythingis here, and it’s less a Theranos recap and more a mirror held up to all of us. The movie explores Elizabeth Holmes through performance and deception, but its most talked-about moment is a scene where Holmes doesn’t understand the Abbott and Costello“Who’s on First?”routine. Journalist John Carreyrou reads it as Holmes playing dumb. An autistic viewer sees masking. Someone else just sees exhaustion. Same scene, three wildly different conclusions.

The film keeps twisting the knife. Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes inThe Dropout, appears as herself and reenacts scenes, and she may end up with an Oscar nomination for a documentary where she mostly plays herself. Billy Evans gets needled into some dark revelations. The whole hall-of-mirrors setup argues that our nonstop performance culture has destabilized belief in objective truth.

So whether you’re deep in reality TV or just scrolling your feed, the film asks a familiar question: how much of what we see is real? It taps right into our daily anxiety about online personas and public figures. We want to know what you think. Do you believe Holmes was faking it, or was there something else going on?
