Movie Review: You Can See Everything

Unlikely box office hit “You Can See Everything” is a nearly-three-hour documentary from comedic filmmaker Nathan Fielder. The movie follows disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, famously played by Amanda Seyfried in the Hulu series “The Dropout.” With an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors looming, Holmes and her partner Billy Evans invited Fielder and his crew to live in their home and document their last month together for the foreseeable future.

The first part of the movie follows Holmes, as expected. Elizabeth and Billy are eccentric, but they play up relatable traits like loving their children. There’s a strong whiff of the couple trying to “control the narrative” and get the audience on their side. It will be up to the viewer to decide if this version of Elizabeth is her honest self, or – and the movie keeps coming back to this phrase – “a character she created.”

It’s in the second half, where Fielder himself suspects that Billy is not acting in the now-imprisoned Elizabeth’s best interests, that the filmmaker takes more creative risks. He enlists the help of an unlikely ally, who usually agrees with him, but also provides a few much-needed counterpoints in conversations that admittedly appear disingenuous.

One such counterpoint is crucial to the film’s final minute, where a realization changes the context of the entire film. It’s the kind of ending that may inspire viewers to see the film all over again so they can revel in details they missed the first time. For now, I’ll just say that you should see “You Can See Everything” at least for the first time.

Grade: B- “You Can See Everything” is rated R for language and some graphic nudity. Its running time is 174 minutes.
