The new documentary "You Can See Everything" by creator Nathan Fielder, focusing on tech fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, has achieved significant critical and audience acclaim. The film debuted at number one on Letterboxd, a popular social network for film enthusiasts, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. It also boasts a 99% positive rating from critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
The documentary chronicles the final 34 days of Holmes's life before she began her prison sentence in May 2023. Holmes, the founder of the blood-testing company Theranos, promised a revolution in medical diagnostics but was later convicted of defrauding investors. Unusually, Holmes and her husband, Billy Evans, granted Fielder and his crew access to their home and family life during this period.
What begins as an intimate portrait of a controversial Silicon Valley figure evolves into a three-year cinematic journey that blurs the lines between documentation, reality, and manipulation. Fielder, known for his experimental approach in shows like "Nathan For You" and HBO's "The Rehearsal," applies his signature style of complex social experiments and deliberate ambiguity between reality and fiction to the documentary genre.
Critics have lauded the film, with Vulture calling it a potential film of the year and The New Yorker highlighting its boundary-pushing nature. The Associated Press awarded it four out of four stars, praising its examination of Holmes and complex questions about truth. The two-hour and 54-minute film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in September and was released theatrically in the U.S. on October 16 by A24.
Discussions are reportedly underway to bring "You Can See Everything" to Israeli cinemas, though no official distribution agreement or release date has been set.
