Nathan Fielder’s 3-Hour Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Screens, Recasting a 11-Year Fraud Story

Summary
An advance press screening of “You Can See Everything” unveiled Nathan Fielder’s nearly 3-hour documentary built around Elizabeth Holmes’s final month before reporting to prison.
Holmes, sentenced to 11 years, gave Fielder extraordinary access as she tried to present her version of the Theranos collapse, while still insisting the company’s blood-testing technology could theoretically work.
The film then shifts after Holmes enters prison: access tightens, partner Billy Evans emerges as a gatekeeper with power of attorney, and Fielder turns to Amanda Seyfried to reconstruct Holmes’s story.
Rather than settling guilt or innocence, the documentary centers on how Holmes thinks, whether those around her shape or exploit that worldview, and how much any documentary can really reveal.
