Overview
Nathan Fielder’s documentary, You Can See Everything, centers on Elizabeth Holmes during the weeks leading up to her imprisonment. The film portrays Holmes’ life as she navigates the aftermath of the Theranos scandal and has garnered attention for its raw content, including instances of graphic nudity.
The film, directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is rated R for strong language and graphic nudity, with reports indicating one individual appears full-frontal. A24 has not commented on this specific rating.
Holmes, who famously dropped out of Stanford to start Theranos, raised considerable investments but faced scrutiny after a critical Wall Street Journal article questioned her technology’s efficacy. Subsequently, she was charged with fraud and convicted on multiple counts, resulting in an 11-year prison sentence.
The documentary offers an intimate look at Holmes, even as it raises questions about her actions and state of mind. Fielder admits he is still trying to understand the complexities of his interactions with Holmes and is eager for audiences to draw their own conclusions from the film.
You Can See Everything will be available in theaters starting October 16.
