A24 has released a new trailer for ‘You Can See Everything,’ a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes.
The film centers on footage shot by filmmaker and comedian Nathan Fielder while staying with Holmes.
However, Holmes’s claims of innocence in the trailer represent the position presented by the film and should not be taken as established fact.
3-Line Summary
1. Holmes documentary ‘You Can See Everything’ released
2. Closely filmed her final month before prison
3. The trailer’s claims are the position presented in the film
Filming Began 34 Days Before Prison
‘You Can See Everything’ begins when Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, invited the production team to film her daily life 34 days before she was imprisoned. According to the description released by A24, the film initially begins like an intimate portrait of one person, but unfolds into a journey spanning approximately 3 years.
According to reports by Variety and Deadline, the film has a runtime of 174 minutes. The central stretch of filming covers Holmes’s final month before going to prison and the first few weeks of her incarceration, during which Nathan Fielder stays with Holmes and continues asking questions. Rather than simply summarizing the past events, it more closely resembles an extended observation of Holmes explaining herself in front of the camera.
Holmes is introduced as the person she was before being imprisoned on charges of defrauding investors. In the trailer, she says she feels she did nothing wrong, and Fielder directly questions that perception itself. This scene does not redefine the legal judgment in the case; instead, it appears to function as a device showing how Holmes speaks about herself within the film.
Why Nathan Fielder Entered the Frame
Nathan Fielder is known for work that directly places him in unfamiliar situations, leaving uncomfortable questions for both the other person and the audience. In this film as well, he is not merely a host asking questions from behind the scenes, but a character who enters Holmes’s living space.
Because of this approach, the film’s focus is not limited to information about the Theranos case. The tension on screen comes from how much Holmes trusts Fielder, what words she chooses even when she is in tears, and how far Fielder refuses to accept her explanations. The moment in the trailer when Holmes says, to the effect, that “there is no reason to lie anymore” also condenses that tension.
Reviews following the film’s premiere at the Telluride Film Festival described it as a distinctive documentary. Separate from the critical response, however, the key that audiences will come to examine is not Holmes’s words themselves, but the questions attached to those words and the changes across the filming period.
Scheduled for Theatrical Release on October 16
A24 plans to release the film in theaters on October 16. This is the distributor’s announced schedule, and the actual screening locations and detailed schedule may vary according to each theater’s programming.
What this trailer showed was not only Holmes’s explanation, but also the distance left on screen by the person recording that explanation. That is also why there is reason to revisit the Theranos case, which has already been covered in numerous formats. Rather than rewriting the conclusion of the case, the film focuses on how one person tried to persuade the camera of her own account before reaching that conclusion.
