A24 has revealed You Can See Everything, a documentary directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that follows convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes beginning just 34 days before she reported to prison.

Why it mattersNathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes were not a pairing anyone had on the 2026 culture bingo card — which is exactly why the reveal exploded.

The project surfaced after a surprise Telluride Film Festival screening and immediately became one of the day’s strangest entertainment-culture stories. A24’s official synopsis describes an intimate portrait that expands into a three-year journey, while the first trailer puts Fielder’s deliberately awkward style directly against Holmes’s carefully controlled public persona.

The combination matters because Holmes has already been the subject of books, podcasts, documentaries and dramatizations. This film is not selling itself as another summary of the Theranos collapse. Its hook is access: Holmes invited a skeptical crew into her life before prison, and Fielder appears on camera as part of the experiment.

That reveal also explains why the topic surged across search and social conversation. Google Trends showed Elizabeth Holmes among the day’s major U.S. searches, Reddit threads quickly filled with reactions to the unexpected Fielder pairing, and A24 pushed the first look on X.

The film runs 174 minutes according to reporting from the Telluride premiere, making it an unusually long theatrical documentary. A24 says it is coming soon, while reports around the premiere point to an October theatrical release.

The cultural fascination is bigger than Holmes alone. Fielder has built his career around blurring performance, documentary and manipulation, while Holmes became one of the defining examples of image-making in Silicon Valley. Putting those two forces in the same frame is why You Can See Everything already feels less like a conventional true-crime recap and more like an argument about who controls reality when a camera is present.
