Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes Documentary 'You Can See Everything' Gets Stranger After Telluride Premiere

Nathan Fielder sits across from Elizabeth Holmes in the first teaser for 'You Can See Everything', pressing the former Theranos chief on whether she is being honest with him. Holmes says she has nothing to deceive him about and insists she is 'always being real'. Then the film gets stranger.

The A24 documentary from Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, unveiled at the Telluride Film Festival on 6 September 2026, is not only the pre-prison story established by its opening set-up. Reviews of the 174-minute film show Fielder becoming part of the story, while the boundary between documentary and performance begins to blur.

Why The Documentary Takes an Unusual Turn

Fielder is not merely observing Holmes from behind the camera. Reviews describe him being drawn into the film as he tries to work out whether Holmes and her partner Billy Evans are giving him an unfiltered account of their lives or managing what he sees.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the film eventually incorporates elaborate reenactments involving a Hollywood actress. Filmmakers asked audiences not to identify the actress around the premiere.

The approach also brings Fielder's own persona into the film. The comedian and filmmaker became known for 'Nathan for You' before creating 'The Rehearsal', while Oppenheim previously directed 'Some Kind of Heaven' and 'Spermworld'.

The documentary also shows Holmes watching Hulu's 'The Dropout', the dramatisation of the Theranos collapse starring Amanda Seyfried. According to reviews, Holmes disputes elements of the series while continuing to defend her account of what happened at Theranos.

What Happens After Holmes Reports to Prison

Holmes's direct filmed presence largely changes after she reports to prison, but the documentary does not stop there. The Los Angeles Times reported that Evans becomes an important conduit between Holmes and the filmmakers as direct access changes.

Holmes reported to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas on 30 May 2023.

The film follows the project beyond that point, with Fielder discussing after the Telluride screening how difficult it remained to establish exactly what he had experienced while making it.

The Los Angeles Times quoted Fielder saying he was still 'struggling to this day to understand exactly what I experienced'.

He said the filmmakers often disagreed about what particular moments with Holmes meant, leaving that uncertainty inside the finished documentary.

Fielder also said communication with Evans eventually broke down as the film neared completion, with the filmmakers believing he was seeking greater control over the production. That is Fielder's account from the Los Angeles Times' report of the post-screening discussion, not an independently established finding.

What Critics Discovered

The early reaction has focused on the film's unusual access and structure. Variety described it as a 'reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus', while Deadline highlighted the access Fielder and Oppenheim obtained as unlike anything the critic had previously seen in a documentary.

The film's unusual structure is also tied to its long production. What began as an intimate look at Holmes before prison became a three-year project in which Fielder's presence, Holmes's responses and the changing access to her life all became part of the material being examined.

A24 plans to release 'You Can See Everything' in US cinemas in October 2026. No specific opening date has been announced, and there is no confirmed UK theatrical date.
