At the strong recommendation of my good friend Myles, the only prior knowledge I had of Nathan Fielder was of his TV series The Rehearsal.
It did take a few episodes to realize the fact that Nathan Fielder was diving more into just what the premise of the show promised (a chance for people to live out scenarios they were, for one reason or another, unable/unwilling to do in real life). This at least gave me some prep for what Fielder (and co-director Lance Oppenheim) might have in store with You Can See Everything, the latest documentary on Elizabeth Holmes (someone I knew very little to nothing about).
Looking at the list of documentaries I have seen in my life (which is a lot shorter than I would like to admit), I can safely say I’ve never seen a documentary like this before. Fielder and Oppenheim take risks with filmmaking so audacious that, if I revealed them to you, I would be betraying you as fellow moviegoers.
All I will say is the film deserves its R rating (swearing and full frontal male nudity), so keep the kids at home.
On the twitter/x profile of Elizabeth Holmes (which is explained in the film), I noticed a post from a couple of weeks ago:
“I really don’t think you are ready for this doc”
Ironically, she is not wrong.
You should see everything about the film without me ruining it.
Overall:
