Is this a documentary or some kind of psychological thriller? A24 has released the full official trailer for You Can See Everything, the buzzed-about Elizabeth Holmes documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The new footage takes us considerably deeper into the filmmakers’ extraordinary access to the disgraced Theranos founder and her family, while offering an increasingly unsettling taste of what’s to come. Watch the trailer above and get the spoiler-free details below.
Nathan Fielder Asks Some Very Uncomfortable Questions
The first teaser gave us one extraordinary staring contest between Fielder and Holmes. This time, there’s considerably more to sink our teeth into, including revealing conversations with Holmes’ partner, Billy Evans, intimate family footage and moments that leave us questioning just how much either side is willing to reveal.
More on Screen Realm:
The trailer provides a better sense of what it must have been like having Fielder living with Holmes and her family in the weeks before she reported to prison. His relentless questioning makes for some particularly uncomfortable viewing, especially when he turns his attention to Evans and the circumstances of their relationship.
“I mean, weren’t you worried she was sort of scamming you?” Fielder asks. Evans responds, “But what did she have to gain from me?” Fielder fires back: “Well, isn’t your family rich?”
It’s the kind of exchange Fielder has built a career around, asking remarkably direct questions while remaining almost impossible to read himself. Only here, the stakes are considerably different from the uncomfortable comedy of Nathan for You.
That Final Shot of Elizabeth Holmes…
And then there’s the moment that closes the trailer. Holmes sits facing Fielder in a prolonged close-up, discussing how difficult it has been for her to show vulnerability. “I mean, it took me a really long time to be okay with letting someone see me cry,” she says.
The camera holds on her face as her eyes begin to well up. Eventually, a single tear rolls down her cheek. Rather than presenting the moment as an emotional climax, the trailer leaves us with something considerably more unsettling. Is this a genuine emotional breakthrough, an attempt to influence how she’s perceived, or something else entirely?
Between Fielder’s confrontational questioning, Holmes’ insistence that she has nothing to hide and the increasingly tense atmosphere, the psychological-thriller comparisons are becoming difficult to ignore. And that’s before we’ve even begun to explore where this story reportedly ends up.
A Huge Rotten Tomatoes Score So Far, but What Are They Hiding?
Despite offering a substantial amount of new footage, the official trailer appears to be keeping the documentary’s biggest surprises firmly under wraps. And given what we’ve already heard about its unexpected direction, that’s probably a smart move.
For those who missed our original coverage, Fielder and Oppenheim began filming 34 days before Holmes entered federal prison in May 2023. What started as an intimate portrait of the convicted Theranos founder during her final weeks of freedom eventually developed into a three-year filmmaking project.
Oppenheim, whose previous work includes Some Kind of Heaven, Spermworld and HBO’s Ren Faire, also has another major A24 release just around the corner. He’s directed Primetime, the upcoming drama starring Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, which arrives in US cinemas on September 25.
You Can See Everything, meanwhile, was unveiled during a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, with the filmmakers asking audiences to preserve its biggest revelations. We’re certainly not spoiling anything here, although the early reviews suggest that the film takes some genuinely unexpected turns.
And those reviews have been remarkably enthusiastic. At the time of writing, You Can See Everything holds an impressive 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, albeit from just 10 reviews so far. Critics have praised its ambition, unpredictable direction and unconventional approach to documentary filmmaking, with several recommending that audiences go in knowing as little as possible.
Perhaps the most enticing description comes from Variety critic Owen Gleiberman, who called it “a one-of-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus.” Now there’s a description that makes a nearly three-hour running time sound like a selling point. Whatever the filmmakers have uncovered during those three years, we can’t wait to dig in.
When Is You Can See Everything Released?
You Can See Everything arrives in US cinemas on October 16, and Australian & New Zealand cinemas on November 12, 2026.
