Surprise Premiere Stuns Festivalgoers
At the Telluride Film Festival on Sunday, a surprise screening of You Can See Everything, the new documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, left attendees reeling. Reactions on social media ranged from shock to bewilderment, with some calling it brilliant and others questioning what they had just witnessed.[S1]
The A24 docudrama, set in April and May 2023, follows Holmes in the 34 days before she reported to prison. This comes after her January 2022 conviction on multiple counts of defrauding investors and wire fraud. Fielder and Oppenheim's crew shadowed Holmes during this period, capturing her every move.[S1]
A Mind-Bending Journey
A24 released a teaser trailer and logline alongside the screening. The logline describes the film as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon that becomes a three-year journey into the abyss. It highlights the directors' boundary-pushing approach.[S1]
Fielder, known for Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, has made a name in docudrama. Oppenheim, a documentarian behind Some Kind of Heaven and Spermworld, also premiered his narrative feature Primetime at Venice. You Can See Everything is slated for an October theatrical release.[S1]
