The documentary film "You Can See Everything," co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is scheduled for limited theatrical release this Friday following a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival on Sept. 6, 2026. The 174-minute A24 release chronicles what the studio calls a three-year journey into the abyss surrounding Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos, including her final weeks of freedom before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors.
Holmes was sentenced in November 2022 after being convicted of four counts of fraud related to her blood-testing startup. Investors, including Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison, contributed millions to the company based on technology that promised to run comprehensive blood tests from a single pinprick, a technology that experts later testified did not exist. Thirty-four days before her scheduled surrender in 2023, Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, invited Fielder and Oppenheim to film at their home in Del Mar, California.
The film features interviews where Holmes maintains that the Theranos device was functional and that the company only needed to resolve specific chemical processes. The production includes appearances by Amanda Seyfried, who portrayed Holmes in the 2022 Hulu series "The Dropout" and reads transcripts of Holmes' words in the documentary. The film details Evans' attempts to negotiate a deal with A24 executives for a portion of the film's profits and his use of Holmes' image on billboards and social media during her incarceration at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas.
For the general public and those in the healthcare industry, the film provides a record of the defense used by Holmes, who claimed her "iPod of healthcare" device worked despite expert testimony that the technology was not viable. A Stanford medical professor, Phyllis Gardner, is cited as one of the experts who originally warned that the pinprick data collection method was not possible. The company's board of directors featured former government officials Henry Kissinger, George P. Shultz, and James Mattis.
The film also captures how Holmes continues to communicate with the filmmakers via telephone from prison. The documentary will expand to a wide theatrical release on Oct. 23, 2026. It arrives as Holmes remains in federal custody, with previous reports indicating a scheduled release to a halfway house in the summer of 2027.
