You Can See Everything turns Elizabeth Holmes’s story into a gothic romance

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s film follows Elizabeth Holmes, the convicted Theranos fraudster, and her partner Billy Evans.

Filming began just weeks before Holmes was due to enter prison, and the film shows her in a cramped San Diego beach house.

The movie presents Holmes and Evans as a couple whose motives are hard to read, leaving open whether either is exploiting or manipulating the other.

Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes in the series The Dropout, appears as Holmes’s double in reenactments and conversations.

The film uses close-up camerawork and staged scenes to blur what feels real, drawing its filmmakers and viewers into the couple’s unsettled world.

Its central effect is to make viewers question what they can know, even as the film offers an unusually close look at its subjects.
