15 Oct
Summary
- Documentary explores Elizabeth Holmes's life and fraud conviction.
- Filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim directed the film.
- The movie examines the relationship between documentarians and subjects.
The film "You Can See Everything" presents an intimate and analytical portrait of Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder now serving a prison sentence for fraud. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the documentary is described as bonkers, exploring the dynamic between documentarians and their subjects.
Holmes, once hailed as the youngest self-made female billionaire by Forbes in 2014, founded a blood-testing startup that ultimately failed to revolutionize healthcare as claimed. Her conviction in 2022 for deceiving investors led to an 11-year prison sentence, leaving many, including the presiding judge, questioning her decisions.
The documentary touches upon Holmes's signature presentation, including her striking appearance and unblinking gaze, which projected an image of innovation and dominance in the tech world. Her former partner, Billy Evans, is featured early in the film, suggesting a desire to reshape public perception.
