A24 has released the official trailer for *You Can See Everything*, a 174-minute documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim about Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder convicted of fraud. Entertainment Weekly reports the filmmakers spent three years documenting Holmes's final 34 days before prison and her early incarceration, capturing intimate moments as she continues to deny wrongdoing despite her conviction.
The trailer shows Fielder directly asking Holmes, "You really feel you did nothing wrong?" to which she responds, "I did not." AOL notes Holmes becomes emotional during questioning but maintains her innocence. The film debuts at the New York Film Festival on September 30 before hitting theaters on October 16.
Holmes Invites Filmmakers Into Her Private World
Holmes allowed Fielder and Oppenheim into her home 34 days before reporting to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas to serve her sentence for defrauding Theranos investors. Inc.com explains the filmmakers lived with Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, during this window. Holmes is engaged to Evans and has two children with him.
The couple's separation weighs heavily on Holmes. In a 2025 interview, she said being apart from her children in prison "shatters her world." AOL reports that Holmes's original 11.25-year sentence was reduced to nine years for good behavior, meaning she will eventually reunite with her family.
A Tense Confrontation About Theranos Deception
Fielder presses Holmes directly on her conduct at Theranos, the blood-testing startup that collapsed after false claims about its technology. He asks her point-blank whether she feels she did nothing wrong. Holmes answers firmly: "I did not." AOL reports she struggles emotionally throughout the questioning but never admits fault.
Holmes tells Fielder it took her "a really long time" to become comfortable letting someone see her cry. Entertainment Weekly notes this vulnerability marks a rare moment of exposure from Holmes, who has long controlled her public image through legal strategy and narrative control.
The Documentary Gets Surreal and Self-Reflective
Critics who attended the surprise Telluride premiere describe the film as increasingly meta in its second half. Yahoo News reports that as Holmes's imprisonment prevents her from controlling her own narrative, the documentary itself becomes surreal, exploring how others fill the void she leaves behind.
Entertainment Weekly notes attendees left "shell-shocked," circulating reactions like "Wild" and "WTF?" online. The film's final movement appears to deconstruct the very act of making a documentary about an incarcerated woman who refuses to admit guilt, creating an unusual and unsettling viewing experience.
