The first trailer for Nathan Fielder's upcoming documentary, You Can See Everything, has been released, showcasing the film's bizarre and ambitious approach to its subject. Co-directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the movie centers on Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the disgraced health technology company Theranos. A24 produced the film, which was shot in the weeks before Holmes began her 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors. The documentary has a runtime of 174 minutes.
A Distinctive Approach to Documentary
From the trailer, You Can See Everything appears to employ Fielder's signature style, which often blurs the lines between reality and performance. The film features his characteristic dry humor, evident when Fielder directly questions Holmes' partner about potentially being conned out of his wealth. Lance Oppenheim, the film's co-director, brings experience as a documentarian, having recently released his first feature-length drama, Primetime, also from A24. Fielder has a prior collaboration with A24, having starred in their dark comedy series The Curse.
Critical Acclaim and Release Details
You Can See Everything premiered at the 53rd Telluride Film Festival on September 6, where it received positive reviews from critics. The film currently holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 10 reviews and a 95 on Metacritic from 7 reviews. Critics have praised its unique nature, with Tomris Laffly of RogerEbert.com describing it as "like no other film I’ve ever experienced." Owen Gleiberman of Variety noted it as "a one-of-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus," further commending Fielder's "acidly quizzical personality."
The documentary is scheduled for a U.S. premiere on October 16.
