Elizabeth Holmes, once celebrated as the youngest self-made billionaire in America due to her healthcare startup, Theranos, experienced a dramatic fall from grace. Her story, marked by ambition and deception, becomes the subject of a new documentary that delves into Holmes’ life just before her prison sentence.
The documentary has been praised for its unique approach. Originally screened as a surprise at the Telluride Film Festival, it offers a fresh perspective on Holmes and her infamous ventures.
The film, titled You Can See Everything, encourages viewers to watch with minimal prior knowledge to fully appreciate the experience. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, this documentary stands apart from previous portrayals. It captures Holmes during her last days of freedom at her San Diego beach house, distinct from previous documentaries like Alex Gibney’s The Inventor or the series The Dropout.
Fielder, known for his unconventional comedic style, interacts with Holmes in an intriguing manner. He strives to uncover her motivations and challenge her claims, bringing to light her professed truthfulness. Holmes’ insistence that her blood-testing machines worked as promised raises questions and skepticism.
In a notable sequence, Fielder shows Holmes the “Who’s on First?” routine by Abbott and Costello, highlighting her understanding of humor and semantics. In another scene, her reaction to watching The Dropout illustrates her discomfort with confronting her past actions.
The documentary shifts focus toward Billy Evans, Holmes’ partner, after she enters prison. Evans’ character comes under scrutiny, hinting at deeper complexities and potential manipulation. Thus, the film evolves into a multifaceted exploration of relationships and deception.
This portrayal is not only a study of Holmes but also an examination of the filmmaking process itself. Fielder’s introspection about his role adds layers to the documentary, challenging conventional documentary practices.
With striking visuals and an evocative score, the movie demands to be seen on a large screen with an audience. It offers a mixture of clarity and mystery, making You Can See Everything a compelling cinematic experience.
