The trippy documentary 'You Can See Everything' explores Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder convicted of fraud. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film blends absurdity and analysis, questioning truth and media manipulation. Shot over several years, it opens in 2023, 34 days before Holmes entered prison.
The movie features intense conversations between Fielder and Holmes at her Del Mar home, often with family present. It examines her public persona, her fall from billionaire status, and the filmmakers’ role in shaping her narrative. The title refers to a text Holmes sent Fielder.
The documentary mixes participatory, ethnographic, and archival footage, highlighting the constructed nature of documentary filmmaking. It raises questions about reality, knowledge, and the pathos of modern fame.
