Film Review: YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING (2026): This A24 Elizabeth Holmes Documentary is a Brilliant Conversation Starter

You Can See Everything Review

You Can See Everything (2026) Film Review, a movie directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and starring Elizabeth Holmes, Billy Evans, Amanda Seyfried and Nathan Fielder.

*This review contains some spoilers necessary to sufficiently review the picture. It is recommended to not read this review in its entirety until you’ve seen the film.

Theranos founder and “fraud,” Elizabeth Holmes, is an enigma. Well, that’s putting it mildly, according to the events that happen in this new movie. Holmes is shown in the wonderful documentary, You Can See Everything, for quite a bit of the opening stages of the film, and it’s virtually impossible to decipher what’s going through this woman’s mind. As many of you know, she is now incarcerated for her “manipulation” of the public. Holmes said she was able to run complicated blood tests through obtaining just a small prick of blood, but, alas, was found out to be wrong about what her company was actually able to do for its customers. That portion of the story doesn’t matter as much as the relationship between Holmes and her lover, Billy Evans, does. That bond, which is so bizarre it defies any and all expectations, is at the core of the brilliant documentary from filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, You Can See Everything.

This new A24 film is constructed in a masterful way, which separates it from almost every other documentary ever made. This is a living, breathing example of film-making at its most daring. If one ever wondered about Elizabeth Holmes’ motivation or personal life, this movie will raise many more questions than it provides answers about such details. Yet, the film is strangely fascinating in a highly provocative way. This is the type of film that could inspire conversations that could go on for days and days. It’s that thought-provoking.

This film has documentarian, Nathan Fielder, talking to Elizabeth Holmes for as much time before she is incarcerated as possible. Holmes is the type of mysterious woman who is impossible to read. She could be lying or she could be 100% sincere in the things she says. You can never really tell. One opinion is as valid as the next. Amanda Seyfried has been employed to play a pivotal part in the proceedings. Seyfried does the best work of her career, re-enacting moments that Fielder and Oppenheim couldn’t get at the prison where Fielder visits Holmes towards the end of the film. Seyfried can’t be giving audiences a traditional performance in this movie per se, but it’s still the best work she has ever done, including The Testament of Ann Lee.

So, Billy Evans comes across as something of a manipulative jerk until the written information at the end of the picture reveals a fact that could give him some leeway. A man who forged Holmes’ social media posts and claimed he was great in bed, he comes across as a cold, selfish person, yet he was nevertheless the love of Elizabeth Homes’ life based on what we see in this film. She loved him unconditionally, but it’s not entirely clear he loved her the way she loved him. That’s a point one may want to discuss with someone else after seeing the film.

Questions about Elizabeth Holmes are brought into the equation regarding why she wanted no financial compensation for her participation in this project. This movie definitely answers the question, coming directly from Holmes’ mouth through Seyfried, but are the filmmakers capable of distorting the truth through this very daring documentary? One can’t be sure although the filmmakers will probably say they are being as accurate and to the point as possible regarding the facts surrounding Holmes, her family, her thought process and her unfortunate actions.

You Can See Everything runs almost three hours, but something interesting happens while watching it. One can easily become so absorbed in the volatile presentation of the material that the filmmakers have employed that it’s pretty much impossible to look away from the screen. These filmmakers have managed to tell a story that is unlike any you’ve ever seen before.

Elizabeth Holmes, even if she’s lying in her scenes in this movie, has come across as a very determined individual in the filmed sequences early on in the picture. It’s hard to know what to make of her actions, although those who found her guilty certainly peeled away layers that are not easy to be peeled away regarding her guilt or innocence.

Nathan Fielder is one of the film’s biggest MVPs. He digs deep to get answers for the viewers, and as he tries to get a phone call with Elizabeth where it’s just him and her talking, it is like he’s asking for the holy grail. Everything goes through Billy and the audience will be compelled and frustrated while waiting for clues to the answers to some of the most difficult questions the movie raises regarding Elizabeth Holmes’ real feelings, if they exist in any way shape or form outside of her basic desires for love and happiness for her family.

You Can See Everything is a perfect film. It’s inquisitive and compelling in the most definitive way possible. This may be the best movie of the year, outside of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. You’ll be asking yourself questions long after the end credits roll and wonder how Seyfried was able to nail her scenes in this remarkable film to the point that her work is nothing short of poetically brilliant. This is a masterpiece in every possible sense of the word.

Rating: 10/10
