The new Elizabeth Holmes film blends fact, fiction and fraud
Amanda Seyfried appears in scripted reenactments as the film examines Holmes’ prison sentence and the blurred line between documentary and performance.
- Yesterday, October 16, A24 released 'You Can See Everything,' a documentary about convicted Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, which earned a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 97 rating on Metacritic.
- In a bid for 'radical transparency,' Holmes invited directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim into her San Diego beach house 34 days before her 2023 incarceration to document her final weeks.
- The 174-minute film blends reality with re-enactments to interrogate Holmes' claims of innocence; critics have called it a 'modern masterpiece' for its examination of truth versus performance.
- Holmes' partner Billy Evans appears increasingly central to the narrative, prompting viewers to question her culpability and whether their 'radical transparency' project authentically reveals truth or obscures it.
- Projections indicate the film could climb to a $12 million opening weekend, virtually unheard of for a documentary, while sparking Oscar buzz as it positions Holmes' story as a unique interrogation of deception.
