Summary
More than 24 hours after its secret Telluride debut, "You Can See Everything" remained the festival’s dominant talking point, turning a risky nonfiction sneak premiere into a clear crowd triumph.
172 minutes long, the Nathan Fielder-Lance Oppenheim film follows Holmes and partner Billy Evans during roughly 30 days before she reported to federal prison, after the couple invited cameras in while trying to revive Theranos in a new form.
Fielder’s on-camera skepticism and the film’s unresolved portrait of Holmes and Evans drove the strongest debate, with viewers split over whether Holmes is candid, manipulative, or under Evans’ influence.
A24 has already set an October theatrical release, though Fielder said after the premiere he still did not know whether the distributor would route the film through another festival first.
Does A24's secret three-year documentary humanize Elizabeth Holmes, or does it serve as the ultimate social experiment on a convicted scammer?
