“You Can See Everything,” Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s highly anticipated documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, has set a release date in the UK and Ireland.
The documentary, which offers an intimate look at the Theranos founder’s life a month before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors, will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on November 20. A24 is self-distributing the film.
“You Can See Everything” premiered in a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival in September – earning rave reviews and generating Oscar buzz – before heading to the New York Film Festival, and is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on October 16.
“Thirty-four days before she is sent to prison, famed Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move,” reads the documentary’s official synopsis. “What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic criminal transforms into a breathtaking three-year journey into the abyss.”
During a Q&A at the New York Film Festival last week, “The Rehearsal” and “Nathan for You” creator Fielder explained how he ended up co-directing the project with Oppenheim, who just made his narrative directorial debut with “Primetime” starring Robert Pattinson. After befriending Fielder, Oppenheim recalled that Holmes contacted A24 — the studio behind “Primetime” and “The Rehearsal” — about someone documenting his final days before prison. Fielder was already fascinated by her and they arranged a meeting with Holmes and A24.
“When I met her, I remember having this strange experience where she seems so genuine sometimes,” Fielder said. “But then I’m like, ‘No,’ and I measure and track my thoughts and I’m like, ‘Okay, I know she’s a liar.’ It was a strange mental thing. From there we were like, “Can we roll the dice on something if they were open to installing cameras?” »
Roll the dice they did, and that allowed Fielder to fully move into the Holmes home she shares with her partner, Billy Evans, and their two young children.
“I can’t tell you how weird it was that we were there,” Fielder said. “Truthfully, to this day, we’re still like… anyway, sorry. I don’t think I’d be the person you’d want for your last period. I’m a nice person, I think, but I’m not the most comforting. You know what I mean? I think you know.”
