- "You Can See Everything" premiered as a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival on Sunday night, co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim
- The documentary began 34 days before Holmes was sent to prison, when the convicted Theranos founder invited a skeptical film crew to document her — a project that stretched into a three-year journey, per the film's official synopsis
- A24 will release the film in theaters in October and dropped a teaser trailer coinciding with the Telluride screening
- In the trailer, Holmes tells Fielder "I don't have anything to deceive you on" and "I'm always being real" — a notable inversion given her fraud conviction
- Nathan Fielder is known for "Nathan For You" and "The Rehearsal," while Lance Oppenheim directed "Some Kind of Heaven" and the Robert Pattinson-starring "Primetime," which recently premiered at Venice
Why it matters: With A24 committing to a theatrical October release for a documentary whose subject invited scrutiny 34 days before prison, the project reframes Holmes from true-crime cautionary tale into prestige cinema — leveraging Fielder's meta-comedy instincts to mine maximum irony from a convicted fraudster volunteering to be filmed.
