You Can See Everything: Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes Documentary
Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's three-hour film follows Elizabeth Holmes for a month as she faces an 11-year prison term. It reached Australia after a viral trailer and weeks of online spoilers, and a review from November 12 calls it the year's most exquisite obsession.
You Can See Everything, a three-hour documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, has become a record-breaking sensation in the month it took to reach Australia. A review published on November 12, 2026 calls it "the most exquisite obsession of the year".
The film arrived with a surprise trailer, released only weeks before the premiere. It set off a wave of online parodies of Holmes's glassy eyes and rigid manner.
What the film covers
Holmes invited Fielder, the comedian behind The Rehearsal, and Oppenheim, director of Primetime, to document her life for a month. The access appears largely unrestricted. By the end, even the filmmakers struggle to understand what they have filmed.
The film introduces Holmes in 2023, cradling her newborn child behind the bars of a cot. It is 34 days until she starts an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding her investors.
Paparazzi hover outside her rented Californian beach house. Inside, several cameras and a skeleton crew follow Holmes and her family, including partner Billy Evans and their two young children.
"Radical transparency" and a new startup
Evans describes the arrangement as an act of "radical transparency". The household hopes the cameras will redeem Holmes's reputation.
They also have a plan to launch "Theranos 2.0", though the startup is barely more than an idea on a napkin. Between calls to prospective investors, Evans is seen watching microbiology lectures at double speed.
Fielder's approach
Fielder rose to fame on Nathan For You, where he used legal loopholes and human gullibility to help struggling small businesses. One stunt was Dumb Starbucks. In this film he turns that skill toward questioning Holmes and Evans about a woman convinced of her own innocence.
The review describes a different Fielder from the one audiences know. He seems less interested in extracting a punchline than in sharing a private joke with Holmes. His deadpan questions soften into gentle teasing and even flirtation.
He still leans in slightly too close and lets uncomfortable silences linger. According to the review, something resembling intimacy forms between them.
Reaction and earlier coverage
The collapse of Theranos, built on pin-prick blood tests, has already produced news coverage, books, podcasts, documentaries and an Emmy-awarded miniseries starring Amanda Seyfried. The review says Holmes's enigmatic appeal has survived all that exposure.
Online discussion has dissected the film's spoilers in detail. Writer Lena Dunham and Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz are among those who have weighed in.
Oppenheim's narrative debut, Primetime, has only just reached cinemas. His earlier work includes Some Kind of Heaven, which dropped the pretense of fly-on-the-wall observation in favor of a more subjective style. The Holmes film is less stylized than that earlier work, according to the review.
