Documentary 'You Can See Everything' Draws Strong Reaction at Telluride Film Festival
The Elizabeth Holmes documentary premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, receiving enthusiastic audience response and sparking debate about its subjects.
Telluride Film Festival program director Julie Huntsinger placed the documentary You Can See Everything as the festival’s sneak-premiere, a move considered risky because nonfiction films typically attract narrower audiences than fiction. The film, co-directed by comedian Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, focuses on former Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans during the 30 days before Holmes reported to a Texas prison.
Audience members reported the screening generated immediate buzz, with attendees sharing reactions on social media and discussing the portrayal of Holmes, who previously faced conviction for defrauding investors. The documentary also revisits her earlier public image, noting past backers such as Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch.
After the screening, a Q&A moderated by actress Emma Stone was held, during which the directors fielded questions about the couple’s dynamics and the film’s narrative approach. Fielder, appearing on camera throughout the documentary, was noted for his on-screen reactions to the couple’s statements.
The film’s reception at the festival has been described as enthusiastic, with many attendees describing it as a “triumph” and expressing interest in its future distribution, potentially through A24. No official release date has been announced.
