‘You Can See Everything’ trailer: Nathan Fielder moves in with Elizabeth Holmes for a bizarre three-year documentary

A24 has released the first full trailer for You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, offering a closer look at the strange relationship that developed after the convicted Theranos founder invited the filmmakers into her home 34 days before she was due to report to prison. The film was shot secretly over three years and premiered as a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month. It opens in U.S. theatres on October 16.

The trailer begins with Fielder questioning Holmes about the circumstances that led to her conviction for fraud. “You really feel you did nothing wrong?” he asks. Holmes replies, “I did not.” When Fielder follows up by asking how she ended up where she is, she says, “I wish I knew, you know? I don’t know. I don’t feel like I understand that.” The exchange sets up the disconcerting dynamic between the comedian and his subject, with Fielder repeatedly pressing Holmes while she maintains her account of events.

The film takes place around the final weeks before Holmes began serving her prison sentence, with Fielder eventually moving into the home she shared with her partner, William “Billy” Evans, and their children. The access extends into the couple’s domestic life, where conversations about Holmes’ conviction, her relationship with Evans and the future of Theranos become part of the documentary. The New York Film Festival describes the film as a work that deliberately questions the boundaries between documentary and fiction.

The trailer also introduces Evans, whom Fielder questions about his relationship with Holmes and whether he had concerns about being deceived. “Were you afraid of being scammed?” Fielder asks, prompting Evans to discuss the different levels of wealth he grew up around. As the questioning continues, the film moves between direct interviews, intimate footage of the family and staged recreations, gradually making it difficult to determine where observation ends and performance begins.

Holmes eventually tells Fielder that she has “nothing to hide,” while another exchange sees her discussing how difficult it is for her to let people see her cry. The trailer ends on an image of Holmes shedding a tear, leaving the circumstances around the moment deliberately open. The filmmakers have kept several elements of the documentary under wraps, including the identity of an unnamed A-list actress whose involvement has been described as one of the film’s major surprises.

You Can See Everything marks Fielder’s feature directorial debut after Nathan for You and The Rehearsal, extending his interest in constructed reality into a feature documentary. Oppenheim, whose previous work includes Some Kind of Heaven, also directed Primetime, the Robert Pattinson-led drama about To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen. The documentary runs 174 minutes and will have its New York premiere at the 64th New York Film Festival on September 30.
