Nathan Fielder has made a career from drastic interventionism. He poses merciless, confrontational questions to subjects and creates real-life simulations. The relationships he creates are mainly ones of power, and he doesn’t let his subjects forget it. But, when he turns his camera to Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, her preëxisting notoriety pushes back with its own power. “The result is a movie of dazzling conundrums and vertiginous paradoxes, leading Fielder ever deeper into emotional and intellectual wilds,” Richard Brody writes.
Holmes is the subject of Fielder’s new documentary, “You Can See Everything,” which he co-directed with Lance Oppenheim. In 2022, she was convicted of four counts of fraud and sentenced to prison for more than 11 years. When Fielder asks her whether she has ever told a lie, she tells him that she hasn’t. (When pressed, she admits that she allows for white lies.)Read Brody’s full review of the new documentary:
