Nathan Fielder Grills Elizabeth Holmes in "Unsettling" New Doc Trailer

A mysterious new documentary about infamous Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes has just unveiled its first trailer, leaving viewers both intrigued and a little unsettled. Titled "You Can See Everything," the film comes from A24 and was secretly crafted over three years by comedy auteur Nathan Fielder and director Lance Oppenheim.

The documentary promises unprecedented access to Holmes, who was convicted in January 2022 on four counts of fraud and conspiracy. She was found guilty of misleading investors about the capabilities of her biotech company, Theranos, and is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence.

The film's official description reveals its unique premise: it begins 34 days before Holmes is sent to prison, as she invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move, transforming into "a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss."

A teaser released this Monday offers a glimpse into what audiences can expect. In a particularly tense moment, Nathan Fielder, known for his unique comedic style that blurs the lines between reality and performance, is seen directly questioning Holmes.

"I don't have anything to deceive you on," Holmes asserts, staring intently at Fielder.

"Of course I'm not deceiving you. I'm engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you?

There's no reason for me to do that."

Fielder's response, "OK. Alright. OK, good chat," is delivered with his signature deadpan, before he presses further: "You're being real right now?" Holmes quickly retorts, "I'm always being real." This exchange perfectly encapsulates the unsettling, often awkward, yet compelling dynamic Fielder brings to his projects.

Fans of his previous work, like "Nathan for You," will recognize his method of placing himself and others in elaborate social experiments, allowing situations to unfold in increasingly strange and uncomfortable ways. This new documentary appears to apply that same distinctive approach to one of the most scrutinized figures in recent corporate history.

The film's surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival has already generated buzz, hinting at a deep dive into the psyche of a woman whose rise and fall captivated the world.

"You Can See Everything" is set to challenge perceptions and spark conversations, just as Fielder's work always does.
