By Ryan Davidson ·

Nathan Fielder directed his first feature film, a documentary titled You Can See Everything.
The film documents Elizabeth Holmes during the final days before she began serving an 11-year prison sentence.
Fielder co-directed the project with Lance Oppenheim.
The documentary moves beyond a simple review of the Theranos scandal to examine Holmes' personal life.
In the first section of the film, Fielder attempts to secure a confession from Holmes and her husband, Billy Evans, regarding their past actions.
Holmes maintains her innocence throughout these conversations, using specific language to justify her decisions.
Evans frequently interrupts the interviews, suggesting that he and Holmes have new projects similar to Theranos that are currently in development.
The second act of the film reveals that Holmes may lack full control over her own life.
Fielder discovers evidence indicating that Evans might be profiting from the documentary without Holmes' full knowledge or consent.
The investigation into Evans' control over Holmes' finances leads Fielder to enlist actress Amanda Seyfried.
Seyfried, who played Holmes in the miniseries The Dropout, reenacts scenes and directly confronts Evans about his behavior.
The film contrasts the public image of Holmes as a CEO with her role as a mother and individual under the watch of her husband.', 'The cinematography in the film presents a visual style reminiscent of 1980s thrillers.', 'This aesthetic approach is attributed to co-director Lance Oppenheim.', 'Oppenheim is also known for his visual style in the recent film Primetime.', 'The documentary does not provide a definitive conclusion about the true nature of the relationship between Holmes and Evans.', 'Critics have noted that Fielder challenges the typical documentary rule of maintaining strict distance from the subject.', 'The film suggests that Holmes is entitled to agency over her own finances and public image despite her imprisonment.', 'You Can See Everything is currently positioned as a strong contender for best documentary feature film this year.', 'The project marks Fielder's transition from hosting interviews in shows like Nathan For You and The Rehearsal to directing a full-length narrative.', 'Fielder's approach in this film is described as more serious than his previous work.', 'The production includes a mix of direct interviews and reenacted scenarios to explore the dynamics between the subjects.' ]
