Nathan Fielder Lived with Elizabeth Holmes for Years to Make This Unbelievably Strange New Documentary, Check out the New Trailer For ‘You Can See Everything’

Nathan Fielder has spent his entire career blurring the line between orchestrated comedy and genuine human vulnerability, building an entire body of work around uncomfortable social experiments that leave audiences unsure whether they’re watching real life or performance. His latest project, though, might be his strangest gambit yet.

Rather than working with willing participants recruited for one of his signature elaborate schemes, Fielder turned his attention toward one of the most notorious figures in recent American business history. What resulted is a documentary that reportedly took years to complete, built on a level of access almost nobody expected the subject to grant.

A24 has released the full trailer for ‘You Can See Everything,’ the mysterious documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that follows disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before her prison sentence began, with the film set to hit theaters October 16.

The official logline captures just how unusual the project actually is: “Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.”

That three-year timeline is central to the film’s unusual construction, following Holmes not just up until her incarceration but continuing well into her prison sentence and beyond. Vanity Fair has confirmed that Fielder actually lived with Holmes and her husband, Billy Evans, while filming, an extraordinary level of proximity for a documentary subject as scrutinized as Holmes remains.

The full trailer, running two minutes and twelve seconds, builds on an earlier teaser that first premiered following the film’s surprise screening at Telluride. That original teaser featured Holmes insisting to Fielder that she wasn’t being deceptive, telling him “I’m engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? There’s no reason for me to do that.”

When Fielder pressed further, asking whether she was “being real right now,” Holmes replied simply, “I’m always being real,” a line described in Variety’s coverage of the trailer as capturing the film’s central tension between performance and authenticity.

‘You Can See Everything’ first premiered as a surprise secret screening at the 53rd Telluride Film Festival on September 6, with attendees unaware of what they were even about to watch and required to surrender their phones beforehand to prevent leaks. That level of secrecy has continued to define the film’s rollout, with only limited details trickling out in the weeks since.

The documentary marks Fielder’s feature directorial debut, co-directed alongside Oppenheim, whose previous credits include ‘Some Kind of Heaven’ and the acclaimed series ‘Ren Faire.’ Running a substantial 174 minutes, the film clocks in well beyond typical documentary length, suggesting the depth of access Fielder and Oppenheim secured demanded considerably more room to unpack.

Following its Telluride debut, ‘You Can See Everything’ is set to screen at the New York Film Festival on September 30, with both Fielder and Oppenheim expected to attend. That continued festival presence, paired with the film’s already growing awards season buzz, suggests A24 is positioning this as a genuine prestige release rather than a niche curiosity.

Given how unconventional the film’s structure and access already sound based on the trailer alone, ‘You Can See Everything’ looks poised to become one of the more talked-about documentaries of the fall, regardless of how audiences ultimately feel about its subject.
