Summary

Convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes allowed filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim into her home in the weeks before she begins a prison sentence for defrauding Theranos investors. The documentary, You Can See Everything, presents the access as “radical transparency” and films Holmes with her partner, Billy Evans, and their two young children. Evans says the aim is to give as much access as possible into their daily lives, and the couple are working on “Theranos 2.0” during filming. The Guardian reports that the film questions whether Holmes is presenting her authentic self or a manufactured persona, and that in a tense exchange Fielder asks whether she is “being real” with him; she replies, “I’m always being real.” A second Guardian piece says the film, a surprise documentary hit, finds its darkest moments in Evans, whom it describes as the film’s most timely villain.
