Why You Can See Everything is the most talked-about documentary in ages

The acclaimed documentary You Can See Everything chronicles the final month of freedom for disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes before her imprisonment. Through a unique and often uncomfortable lens, filmmakers Fielder and Oppenheim explore whether Holmes remains deceptive or if she is genuine, with the film set for a Dutch release on January 7th.

The documentary You Can See Everything, directed by Fielder and Oppenheim, has gained significant critical acclaim and commercial success in the United States. The film provides intimate access to the final 34 days of freedom for Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, before she began serving a prison sentence for fraud. Holmes, who infamously misled investors regarding her company's blood-testing technology, invited the filmmakers to document her life with her partner and children, resulting in a complex exploration of her psyche and the nature of truth.

The documentary is notable for its unconventional approach, which sees the filmmakers often struggle to discern between reality and performance in Holmes' behavior. As the film progresses, the narrative expands to include actress Amanda Seyfried, who previously portrayed Holmes in a dramatic series, further blurring the lines between the subject and her public persona. While the film has already garnered high ratings and massive interest abroad, it is scheduled to be released in Dutch cinemas on January 7th.
