Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have officially unveiled You Can See Everything, a documentary built around disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. The A24 project starts 34 days before Holmes is due to report to prison, when she invites a skeptical film crew to follow her, and expands from that setup into a three-year descent that reaches far beyond a conventional portrait.
The premise is anchored to a specific and unusual countdown. With just over a month left before her sentence begins, Holmes opens her life to a crew that approaches her with open doubt, framing the film’s central tension from the outset. What is pitched as an intimate study of an enigmatic convicted felon gradually mutates into something stranger and longer, a mind-bending journey that the filmmakers track across three years rather than a single pre-prison window.
The directing pairing is a large part of why the film carries weight. Fielder and Oppenheim both trade in boundary-pushing, formally slippery work, and the documentary leans into that reputation rather than smoothing it over. The teaser plays up the uneasy dynamic between subject and filmmaker, with Fielder and Holmes locking eyes and openly sizing each other up, a standoff over honesty in which Holmes insists she has no reason to deceive him and maintains she is always being real, while Fielder presses on whether she is telling the truth.
The film also lands atop years of rumor. It had long been whispered that Fielder was quietly interviewing Holmes, including visits to see her in prison, for a project shrouded in secrecy. That speculation resolved when the documentary surfaced publicly, confirming the collaboration that observers had guessed at without proof.
You Can See Everything premiered on Sunday night at the Telluride Film Festival, moving the long-secret project out of rumor and into public view with a debut on one of the fall festival circuit’s most closely watched stages.
Watch the teaser above. You Can See Everything hits theaters this October.
