Nathan Fielder’s Secret Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Heads to New York Film Festival

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have kept their Elizabeth Holmes documentary largely under wraps until now. “You Can See Everything,” which debuted unexpectedly at the Telluride Film Festival, is heading to the New York Film Festival this fall.

The film offers an unusually candid look at Holmes, the disgraced Theranos founder, during the final weeks before she reported to federal prison in 2023. Produced over several years, the documentary remained largely hidden from public view until its surprise Telluride screening caught critics and audiences off guard.

Fielder, known for his unconventional comedy and documentary work, teams up with filmmaker Lance Oppenheim to explore Holmes’ story in decidedly unconventional ways. Rather than a straightforward biography, the pair employs reenactments and experimental techniques to examine her perspective on events.

The filmmakers gained rare access to Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, during those final 34 days before her incarceration. Fielder became deeply embedded in their household, capturing moments that typically don’t make it into traditional true-crime films. The result blurs the line between documentary, performance, and dark comedy in ways that have already sparked considerable discussion.

Holmes rose to prominence as Silicon Valley’s golden entrepreneur, promoting Theranos as a revolutionary blood-testing company. That facade crumbled after investigations revealed the technology didn’t work as promised. She was convicted of investor fraud and sentenced to over a decade in prison.

The documentary revisits that pivotal moment while giving Holmes a chance to tell her own story and according to reports, it explores conversations between Holmes and Evans about potentially reviving Theranos, adding yet another wrinkle to the narrative.

The film’s secretive production and unexpected Telluride premiere have already made it one of the fall’s most talked-about documentaries. A24 will handle the theatrical release, with the movie arriving in October. Its selection for the New York Film Festival promises to keep audiences debating Holmes and her legacy.
