You Can See Everything Review

You Can See Everything is the documentary Nathan Fielder made with Lance Oppenheim, who directed Primetime, about Elizabeth Holmes. In the 34 days before the Theranos founder reported to a federal prison in Texas to serve her sentence for fraud, she invited Fielder into the rented house she shared with her partner Billy Evans and their two young children, to tell her side, and to hear the couple's plans for a new venture. A24 premiered it as the Telluride Film Festival's secret screening on September 6, 2026 and released it on October 16, and at 174 minutes it opened far above its projections.

About ninety minutes in, Holmes goes to prison and the film turns on itself, going back over what it has shown from new angles, with commentary and reenactments: Amanda Seyfried appears as herself and as Holmes, and Christopher Abbott plays Evans in staged versions of his private conversations with Fielder. Fielder ends up the straight man, his usual feigned innocence no match for his subject, while the camera stays static and close and Ari Balouzian's score borrows from Hitchcock's Vertigo. It plays as cringe comedy and as an essay on how much a documentary can ever know about the person in front of it; WBUR's critic reached for Orson Welles's F for Fake.

Critics have rarely agreed more: 99 percent positive on Rotten Tomatoes from 113 reviews with a 9.4 average, and 99 on Metacritic from 37. The consensus calls it an inscrutable Rorschach test of Holmes's psyche, as absorbing as it is haunting, and notes that Fielder stretches his own bit to breaking point to get there. Its structure and its people, Holmes, Evans and Fielder himself, earn S grades; the talk and the deliberately plain photography are A. It is an S.
