The new documentary ‘You Can See Everything’ about Elizabeth Holmes premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, featuring insights from Nathan Fielder.
A groundbreaking documentary titled You Can See Everything, focusing on the infamous Elizabeth Holmes, made its debut at the Telluride Film Festival on September 7, 2026. Announced by Deadline, this film offers unprecedented access to Holmes, who has been in the public eye for her controversial leadership of Theranos, a healthcare technology startup that aimed to revolutionize blood testing but ultimately collapsed amid widespread fraud allegations.
Produced by A24, the film is helmed by notable creators Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. Fielder, renowned for his series The Rehearsal, takes on a starring role as an interviewer. Oppenheim is known for directing Primetime and the acclaimed 2020 documentary Some Kind of Heaven. Their collaboration seeks to unravel the complexities surrounding Holmes by providing viewers a front-row seat to her life just before she began her prison sentence.
Holmes, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2022 for defrauding investors, surprisingly agreed to participate in this documentary just 36 days prior to her incarceration. The film captures her at home in San Diego with her partner, Billy Evans, exploring themes of trust and vulnerability. It features audio and visual coverage that breaks conventional documentary boundaries, delving deep into the lives of its subjects.
Fielder’s engaging interviewing style results in unique revelations and interactions, presenting Holmes as both the subject of scrutiny and an individual asserting her innocence. The documentary runs nearly three hours and reflects a commitment to transparency, showcasing astonishing moments that challenge viewers' perceptions of Holmes.
The production was notably kept under wraps, as filming commenced in 2023 without public knowledge, continuing up to its world premiere. The secrecy extended to the festival, where audience members were required to lock away their phones to maintain confidentiality. Initial reactions to the film indicated a mix of fascination and astonishment, as audiences witnessed Holmes and Evans' openness in discussing their lives, including unusual moments elicited by Fielder.
You Can See Everything not only aims to shed light on Holmes' narrative but also questions broader themes about accountability and public perception. As this documentary emerges in an era marked by numerous adaptations of Holmes' story—be it podcasts, books, or limited series—the film offers fresh perspectives for both ardent followers and newcomers to her saga. Its candid portrayal of Holmes’ final days before prison adds depth to a narrative that has captivated the public for years.
Under the creative vision of Fielder and Oppenheim, the documentary challenges viewers to confront their biases and assumptions about who Holmes is, leaving them to ponder the complexities of her character long after the credits roll.
