The documentary, titled "You Can See Everything," premiered at the New York Film Festival on October 1, 2026, following a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, 2026. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and produced by A24, the 174-minute film follows the final 34 days of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ freedom in 2023 before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors.
The project began when Holmes contacted the filmmakers to document her life at a beachside home in Del Mar, California, where she lived with her partner, Billy Evans, and their two children. Fielder, known for "The Rehearsal" and "The Curse," co-directed the film with documentarian Lance Oppenheim. The production features a mix of observational footage and interviews, with a second half that incorporates actress Amanda Seyfried reading transcripts of Holmes' statements.
During filmed interviews, Holmes denied committing the crimes for which she was convicted. She told Fielder that the Theranos device was designed to host any existing blood test and that the company simply had not yet completed the "chemistry" required for the tests to function. Fielder’s questioning challenged this rationale, noting that the technology Holmes sold to investors—which claimed to run comprehensive tests from a single pinprick of blood—did not exist.
The documentary shifts focus after Holmes enters the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. Because the prison did not permit interviews, the filmmakers used Seyfried, who previously portrayed Holmes in the miniseries "The Dropout," to perform transcripts of Holmes' words, including a recorded phone conversation from prison. The film also documents Evans’ attempts to manage Holmes’ public image and features a meeting between Evans and A24 executives regarding potential profits from the documentary.
The documentary highlights the methods through which the fraud was sustained and subsequent attempts to reframe the narrative. Viewers observe the day-to-day life of Holmes before her sentence, including her interactions with her family and her reactions to media portrayals of her case. The film also documents Evans attempting to negotiate for a portion of the film’s profits during a meeting with A24.
The film's use of Amanda Seyfried to read prison transcripts follows a lack of camera access to the subject in federal prison. Following its festival run in September and October 2026, the film is set for release by A24, though a specific date for wide theatrical or streaming availability was not reported. Holmes remains in federal custody.
