Why No One Can Look Away From Elizabeth Holmes

3 sources →

Two articles explore the upcoming documentary 'You Can See Everything,' directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, which features a month of footage captured during Elizabeth Holmes' final days of freedom before her 11-year prison sentence. The documentary examines Holmes' psyche and the nature of her public persona, using Fielder's unique 'cringe-comedy' and meta-textual style. The film includes contributions from actress Amanda Seyfried, who portrayed Holmes in 'The Dropout,' and highlights the tension between Holmes' claims of innocence and the reality of her criminal fraud conviction at Theranos.
