New Trailer for ‘You Can See Everything’ Documentary by Nathan Fielder Released
Documentary filmmaking often lacks genuine secrecy, but this year’s Telluride Film Festival was an exception. A surprise screening labeled only as a mystery project turned out to be one of the most buzzed-about reveals of the fall festival circuit, and now that project is set for its full theatrical rollout.
The film in question is ‘You Can See Everything,’ a documentary co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that focuses on the disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. A24 has just released a new trailer in anticipation of its theatrical release on October 16. This project marks Fielder’s feature directorial debut, and his reputation for pushing comedic boundaries has already generated significant excitement.
The documentary chronicles Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, starting just 34 days before she was set to report to federal prison to serve an 11-year sentence for defrauding Theranos investors. A24 describes the film as an intimate portrait of Holmes that evolves into a mind-bending three-year journey, blurring the lines between observation, performance, and reality.

‘You Can See Everything’ premiered as a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, catching both audiences and press off guard. According to NBC News, parts of the documentary that depict Fielder’s off-camera communication with Holmes, including exchanges during her incarceration in Texas, were recreated with the help of a well-known actress whose identity Fielder requested attendees not to disclose.
During a post-screening Q&A moderated by his friend and collaborator Emma Stone, Fielder expressed his confusion about why Holmes chose to open up her life to him and his crew. “I’m really struggling to this day to understand what I experienced,” he said, adding that he was “excited for this movie to come out and for people to help me with what I experienced,” as reported by NBC News. He also mentioned that tensions arose during filming with Evans, stating, “Billy was trying to exert a lot of control. It caused our communication to break down.”
The newly released trailer emphasizes that discomfort, beginning with Holmes asserting she has no reason to deceive Fielder during an unusually intense exchange. “I’m not that person, I can promise you that,” Holmes insists. Fielder, visibly skeptical, responds, “OK. Alright. OK, good chat… You’re being real right now?” to which Holmes replies, “I’m always being real.”
This interaction encapsulates much of the early buzz surrounding the film. Rather than serving as a straightforward rise-and-fall narrative about Theranos, ‘You Can See Everything’ seems more focused on the psychological oddities of Holmes’ attempt to reshape her narrative in real time, with Fielder’s signature cringe-comedy style colliding with authentic documentary stakes.
The collaboration between Fielder and Oppenheim merges two distinct documentary styles. Oppenheim, known for ‘Some Kind of Heaven’ and the recent Robert Pattinson-starring ‘Primetime,’ has established a career centered on unconventional nonfiction storytelling. Meanwhile, Fielder’s background in shows like ‘Nathan for You’ and ‘The Rehearsal’ has made him a standout voice in modern television comedy. Their combined approach seems to contribute to the uniquely disorienting tone of ‘You Can See Everything.’
With early reactions from Telluride already sparking serious awards-season speculation, including potential Best Documentary Oscar discussions for Fielder, ‘You Can See Everything’ is shaping up to be one of the most polarizing and talked-about releases of the fall.
