Hollywood: Nathan Fielder is taking his trademark discomfort-driven approach to the big screen with You Can See Everything, a documentary that places the comedian and filmmaker inside the home of former Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes shortly before she begins her federal prison sentence.
A24 has released the first full trailer for the highly anticipated film, directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The footage offers an intimate and frequently uncomfortable look at Fielder’s time living with Holmes, her partner Billy Evans and their children.
The documentary is already attracting considerable attention after its surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival, where it reportedly received strong reactions.
Nathan Fielder Moves In With Elizabeth Holmes
The central premise of You Can See Everything is as unusual as Fielder’s previous work.
The film follows Fielder after he moves into the home shared by Holmes and Evans 34 days before Holmes is due to report to federal prison.
Rather than approaching the story as a conventional documentary interview, Fielder appears to gain extensive access to the couple’s everyday life while questioning them about Holmes’ past, their relationship and the circumstances that led to her conviction.
The result is a film that deliberately blurs the boundaries between documentary, interrogation and Fielder’s familiar style of uncomfortable comedy.
Fielder Questions Holmes About Theranos
One of the most striking exchanges in the trailer involves Fielder directly questioning Holmes about her actions at Theranos.
He asks whether she genuinely believes she did nothing wrong.
Holmes responds:
“I did not.”
Fielder then presses her further, asking how she ended up in her current situation and where things went wrong.
Holmes replies that she wishes she knew and says she does not feel that she understands how she reached that point.
The exchange establishes the central tension of the documentary: Fielder is not simply observing Holmes but repeatedly challenging her version of events.
Billy Evans Faces Questions Too
Holmes’ partner Billy Evans also comes under Fielder’s scrutiny.
In one sequence, Fielder asks Evans whether he was concerned about being deceived, particularly given Evans’ wealthy family background.
Evans responds by pointing out that there are different levels of wealth.
The moment reflects the documentary’s broader approach, with Fielder examining not only Holmes’ history but also the circumstances surrounding the people who remain close to her.
An Unusually Intimate Documentary
The trailer repeatedly shows Fielder asking Holmes and Evans questions while they go about their daily routines.
At one point, Fielder raises the issue of having around-the-clock access to the couple and their children, suggesting that the unusual level of access itself becomes part of the documentary’s subject.
Moody close-ups and increasingly tense music add to the uneasy atmosphere as Fielder continues asking what is genuine and what may be concealed.
The documentary appears less interested in presenting a straightforward chronological account of Theranos than in examining Holmes’ life and self-perception in the period immediately before prison.
Elizabeth Holmes Gets Emotional
The trailer ends on one of its most striking moments.
Holmes discusses how difficult it has been for her to allow other people to see her cry. As she speaks, a tear runs down her face.
The scene leaves the question of whether the documentary is capturing an unguarded emotional moment, another layer of Holmes’ public persona, or something more complicated.
That ambiguity appears to be central to You Can See Everything.
Nathan Fielder Makes His Feature Directorial Debut
The documentary marks an important career transition for Fielder, whose work on Nathan for You and The Rehearsal has become known for placing participants in increasingly elaborate and uncomfortable situations.
With You Can See Everything, he moves that sensibility into feature filmmaking alongside Lance Oppenheim.
The project also represents a different kind of challenge because Holmes is not a fictional character created for Fielder’s comedy. She is a real public figure whose Theranos company collapsed amid revelations about its technology and business practices, followed by criminal proceedings.
That reality gives the film an additional layer of tension.
Oscar Buzz Surrounds You Can See Everything
The documentary has already generated awards-season attention following its Telluride screening. Some awards observers have speculated that the film could become a contender in the Best Picture category.
Whether it ultimately receives Academy recognition remains to be seen, but the early attention has placed You Can See Everything among the more closely watched documentary releases of the season.
You Can See Everything Release Date
You Can See Everything is scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 16, 2026.
With its unusual access to Holmes, Fielder’s confrontational questioning style and the documentary’s deliberately blurred line between observation and performance, the film is shaping up to be a very different kind of examination of one of the most closely followed business scandals of the past decade.
