Nathan Fielder’s ‘unsettling’ new Elizabeth Holmes documentary trailer leaves viewers reeling

A24 has unveiled a new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes that Nathan Fielder and director Lance Oppenheim have been making in secret for three years, offering unprecedented access to the disgraced Theranos founder. Titled You Can See Everything, the film’s official description reads: “Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.” Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on four counts of fraud and conspiracy for lying about the capabilities of her biotech company’s blood testing technology and conning investors out of millions of dollars.

She was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. A teaser trailer for the new documentary, released Monday, shows Nathan For You star Fielder quizzing Holmes while staring deeply into her eyes. I’m engaging with you as a human being.

There’s no reason for me to do that.” “OK. OK, good chat,” Fielder replies, before adding, “You’re being real right now?” The documentary premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado on Sunday, where it was shrouded in mystery until the screening actually began. Times, attendees had to lock their phones in pouches during the screening and were told security personnel with night-vision goggles would watch for anyone using electronic devices.

Fielder, the deadpan Canadian comedian behind The Rehearsal and The Curse, was then brought out on stage alongside Oppenheim — the documentarian behind Some Kind of Heaven and the new Robert Pattinson-starring Chris Hansen film Primetime.
