The surprise premiere of Nathan Fielder’s 'You Can See Everything' at Telluride Film Festival left attendees describing it as 'bonkers.' Now in theaters, the film features Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans inviting Fielder to document their final 34 days before prison. Critics Alissa Wilkinson and Jason Zinoman dissect the film’s blend of cringe comedy, spy thriller, and romance. Zinoman praises its genre-shifting style and Fielder’s tense dynamic with Holmes, noting her intense eye contact as a central motif.
Wilkinson reflects on the ambiguity of Fielder’s performance—whether he genuinely fell for Holmes or maintained his signature reality-blurring artifice. The film challenges viewers’ assumptions about authenticity, leaving them questioning what is real. With its dreamlike visuals and psychological depth, the documentary transcends typical true crime narratives, becoming a meditation on manipulation, voyeurism, and perception.
