Fielder and Oppenheim also produced alongside Tatiana Bears, Maggie Ambrose, and Jack Davis, with A24, To Be Formed, and Blow Out Productions behind it. David Bolen shot the film, Adam Locke-Norton edited, and Ari Balouzian wrote the score. It is Fielder’s first feature as a director.
What the official trailer shows
The trailer opens on an A24 card over a coastline, with Fielder’s voice off-camera asking Holmes whether she feels she did anything wrong. She says she does not. He follows up by asking how she ended up where she is, and she answers that she wishes she knew and does not feel she understands it. From there a title card confirms the framing: a documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.
Most of the footage is domestic. Fielder carries luggage into the house and moves into a bedroom while someone asks, in voiceover, whether it is a problem that he will be there around the clock. He and Holmes talk outside about the possibility that he captures something that makes her look bad. Later she holds her baby by the kitchen sink and describes the moment as the time to capture her story before she is gone.
The remaining footage shifts between unsettling and bizarre moments. Outside a facility, photographers aim long lenses through a gate toward Holmes, while an inmate walks across a yard with others. Her partner, Billy Evans, describes falling in love during their first conversation. Fielder then asks him outright if he ever feared that Holmes was scamming him or pursuing family money, followed by whether he had ever thought she was lying to him. Other images show Holmes inside a circular camera rig with her arms extended, a rifle being fired at a range, and, near the end, Holmes telling Fielder that becoming comfortable with people seeing her cry took a long time.
Pull quotes run across the footage, including “LIKE NO OTHER FILM I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED,” “A WEIRDER AND WILDER JOURNEY THAN ANYONE MIGHT EXPECT,” and “IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING, THINK AGAIN.” The trailer closes on the title and the line “ONLY IN THEATERS OCTOBER 16.”
The earlier teaser, released the same day as the Telluride screening, played almost entirely as a single Holmes monologue insisting she is not deceiving anyone and is “always being real.” The new trailer shows far more of the house, the family, and Fielder’s on-camera role.
The premise: 34 days before prison, then three years
The official logline sets the clock at thirty-four days before Holmes was sent to prison, when she invited a skeptical crew to document her every move. What starts as a portrait of a convicted founder turns into a three-year project. Holmes and Evans let the filmmakers live in the house with them and their children for that final month, and the shoot continued long past her surrender date.
Holmes established Theranos by claiming that proprietary hardware could perform a broad range of tests from a small blood sample. In 2022, a jury convicted her on four counts of defrauding investors. She received a sentence exceeding 11 years and entered federal prison in May 2023.
How the documentary came together
Oppenheim and Fielder approached Holmes after hearing through a mutual contact that she was looking for someone to film her life. Fielder had read John Carreyrou’s Bad Blood and assumed the Theranos story was exhausted, but he became curious about how Holmes herself saw it once she disappeared from public view.
A few things shaped the final film:
- A24 backed the shoot with no deadline and no requirement that it ever become a finished film.
- Fielder originally planned to stay behind the camera; his exchanges with Holmes and Evans were odd enough that they went into the cut.
- Crew members kept disagreeing about what was happening inside the house, which convinced the directors they had something worth following.
- Former colleagues and associates of Holmes were approached but declined to take part.
Fielder described the confusion on set as the turning point, saying the team was working at the top of its intelligence and still could not make sense of what it was watching.
Telluride secret screening and early reviews
The film turned up as the mystery slot at the 53rd Telluride Film Festival on September 6, 2026. Nobody in the audience knew what they were about to see, and attendees had to hand over their phones at the door. A24 released the teaser and announced the October date the same day.
Reviews out of that screening have been strong. The film holds a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 10 reviews with a 9.5 average, and a Metacritic score of 95 from 7 critics. Most of the praise has centered on the access the filmmakers got and on Fielder’s flat, deadpan presence as the interviewer.
A one-of-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus.
That was Owen Gleiberman writing in Variety, who added that the film overlaps reality, performance, deception, and mental illness until it delivers you into the space where all of those meet.
Where to watch You Can See Everything
Theaters only, starting October 16. A24 has not announced a streaming window, a digital release, or a home video date, and there is no confirmed international rollout schedule. At 174 minutes, plan for close to three hours in the seat. Several critics who caught it at Telluride have suggested going in knowing as little as possible, which the trailer more or less respects — it teases the shape of the thing without explaining where it ends up.
