A24 has released the full trailer for You Can See Everything, the secretive documentary co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that follows convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes through an extraordinary period of her life.
The film begins 34 days before Holmes reported to federal prison, when she invited the filmmakers into her home and daily life with partner Billy Evans and their children. Running 174 minutes, the documentary grew into a three-year project that was kept largely under wraps before its surprise Telluride Film Festival premiere.
What started as an intimate portrait quickly became something far less conventional. Nathan Fielder did not simply sit across from Elizabeth Holmes for a series of interviews. He lived with Holmes, Billy Evans and their family while cameras documented their lives, creating access rarely seen in a documentary about a public figure. The arrangement placed Fielder inside the domestic world surrounding Holmes just weeks before she began her prison sentence.
The new trailer gives viewers a sharper sense of the unusual dynamic. Nathan Fielder directly challenges Elizabeth Holmes about her version of events, asking whether she believes she did anything wrong. Holmes maintains that she did not. The exchange is deliberately uncomfortable, with long pauses and Fielder’s characteristically restrained delivery leaving the tension to speak for itself. The film does not simply revisit a familiar scandal; it places its filmmakers inside an evolving conversation with the people at its centre.
The documentary’s scale makes the project even more unusual. You Can See Everything stretches well beyond the usual length of a feature documentary, giving Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim room to follow the story beyond Holmes’ final days of freedom. Reporting on the film has also revealed that the project continued for roughly three years, including material connected to Holmes’ imprisonment.
Its secretive production was maintained until the film’s unexpected screening at Telluride in September. The festival kept the title away from the public lineup, and attendees were reportedly asked to secure their phones before entering the screening. That secrecy helped preserve the documentary’s surprises, which extend beyond its unusual access to Holmes.
Among those surprises is the involvement of an unnamed A-list actress. The trailer and reporting indicate that the actress appears in reconstructed portions of the story, but her identity has been deliberately protected. Rather than revealing the casting choice, the filmmakers have treated it as one of the film’s major twists.
The film also carries the weight of Holmes’ legal history without needing to retell every chapter of the Theranos collapse. Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors and sentenced to federal prison, making the countdown captured by the filmmakers more than a simple celebrity profile. The trailer instead focuses on the person behind the headlines, her relationships and the uneasy process of trying to understand a subject who has spent years at the centre of public scrutiny.
That approach gives the documentary a personal frame while leaving room for the filmmakers to question what their unprecedented access can actually reveal.
The result is a documentary that approaches Elizabeth Holmes from an unexpectedly close distance while questioning the boundaries between observation, performance and reconstruction. With its full trailer now public and its October 16 theatrical release approaching, You Can See Everything leaves audiences with a much clearer picture of its strange premise while carefully holding back the answers to its biggest questions for audiences around the world.
