After its Telluride screening, official critics reviews are imminent, but in the immediate aftermath of the premiere, various festivalgoers took to social media to express shock, bewilderment and extreme enthusiasm for the film.

Movies Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's Elizabeth Holmes Doc Revealed as Telluride's Surprise Secret Screening
Taking place in April/May 2023, the A24 docudrama sees Fielder, Oppenheim and a film crew shadow Holmes 34 days before she’s sent to prison, following her January 2022 conviction of multiple counts of defrauding investors and wire fraud.
To coincide with the screening, A24 released a teaser trailer for the film on Sunday, as well as a logline, which reads: “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. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes You Can See Everything.”
Fielder, who made his breakthrough with Comedy Central’s highly influential comedy series Nathan For You, has dabbled in the docudrama genre in recent years with HBO’s critically accalimed series The Rehearsal. He also created, wrote and starred in the black comedy series The Curse for Paramount+.
Oppenheim is primarily known as a documentarian, and his key works include Some Kind of Heaven (2020), Spermworld (2024) and the docuseries Ren Faire (2024). Oppenheim’s first narrative feature, the Robert Pattinson-led Primetime, debuted at the Venice Film Festival over the weekend and is already eliciting awards buzz.
A24 hasn’t yet fixed a released date for the film, but You Can See Everything is set to hit theaters sometime in October.

What the fuck did I just watch? One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s unparalleled, full-access look into Elizabeth Holmes’s life leading up to her imprisonment. Shocking, expansive, and revealing, depending… pic.twitter.com/pTNAZU7MLv

With You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have delivered one of the most transfixing and jaw-dropping documentaries of ALL TIME. I implore you to know as little as possible about this film before seeing it.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is maybe the most hysterical, shocking, insane documentary I’ve ever seen. Endlessly thought-provoking, it’s a deep dive into Elizabeth Holmes and the nature of truth and deception, with Nathan Fielder imbedded right inside their family. A work of genius.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is easily the best film of the year for me, arguably on my best of the decade list. It turns from an uneasy as hell doc into something structurally, stylistically, and formally even more shocking. Like nothing I’ve ever seen. Best Director type shit 🫣 pic.twitter.com/Q6irveNswi

Nathan Fielder's surprise documentary YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is an experience to behold. An Elizabeth Holmes examination that becomes a caper and then something else entirely. Its coming this year.

Just out of “You Can See Everything,” the Nathan Fielder/Lance Oppenheim movie in which the filmmakers embedded with Elizabeth Holmes and her husband in the weeks before she went to prison. Fielder at the Q&A: “I’m struggling to this day to understand exactly what I experienced.”
