You Can See Everything rides Elizabeth Holmes buzz

“You Can See Everything,” a three-hour A24 documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, has become a box office and internet phenomenon, drawing memes, lookalike contests and Oscar talk as audiences revisit the imprisoned Silicon Valley founder.

The film begins one month before Holmes goes to prison and follows the former businesswoman, who was imprisoned over fraudulent claims about her blood-testing technology. It blends reality TV, mockumentary and a deadpan questioning style from Nathan Fielder.

The film has pulled in some $80 million at the domestic box office. Viewers at a Brooklyn screening described it as a fresh perspective on a story they already knew, while film professors said it had moved beyond a standard documentary release.

Kate Rennebohm, an assistant professor of film studies at Lawrence University, said the film frames Holmes as representing “self-delusion and reality-denial” in Silicon Valley and the American tech industry.

Nora Stone, an assistant professor of film production at the University of North Alabama, called the film “a perfect encapsulation of the post-truth era” and compared Holmes’s denials to Donald Trump’s.
