Nathan Fielder Films Elizabeth Holmes
Nathan Fielder teams up with Lance Oppenheim for the 2026 documentary You Can See Everything. It gives them exclusive access to Elizabeth Holmes in the last months before she went to prison.
Holmes allowed a film crew to follow her for 34 days starting on April 21, 2023. Holmes reported to prison on May 30, 2023. What began as an intimate documentary to show the public the real Holmes turned into an ethically complicated documentary about trust, truth, and performance as she was convicted of defrauding people through her company Theranos.
You Can See Everything is three hours and 54 minutes long. A24 will release it in U.S. theaters on October 16, 2026.
Cameras Are Invited In
The directors do something unusual.
Instead of showing the public what Holmes was like after she was found guilty for her crimes, the beginning of the documentary shows what it was like for Holmes to welcome filmmakers to document her before she went to prison.
Fielder and Oppenheim filmed Billy and Elizabeth and their kids for weeks before Holmes went to prison. Fielder lived on their property for several days while the film crew worked to document what it was like for the family to have filmmakers capture their lives, as well as what it was like for the family to interact with each other every day.
This access gives You Can See Everything an advantage over previous Theranos documentaries. Instead of showing the rise and collapse of the company, the film documents what it was like for Holmes to have her identity fused to the scandal after the public trial.
Entertainment sites such as 123movie may allow people to access the documentary for the first time when it is officially released by A24 on October 16.
Nathan Fielder is Not Just an Invisible Director Behind the Camera
Fielder has built a career thriving in the grey area of documentaries, performance art and constructed situations, thus integrating himself into the film’s attempts to unravel Holmes.
Alongside Oppenheim, Fielder has discussed the challenge of reconciling the private person they met with Holmes’ public history of deceit and duplicity. For Fielder, he had to reinforce to himself that the individual who he interacted with personally was also someone who had been convicted of defrauding investors.
This uncertainty forms one of the documentaries major themes.
The filmmakers are not only asking viewers to consider what they believe to be the case with Holmes. They illustrate how difficult it becomes for the people behind the camera to determine whether an apparent authentic moment is actually authentic.
Lance Oppenheim also Co-Directs the Film With Fielder
The scope of the project expanded beyond the 34 days captured prior to Holmes’ imprisonment. A24 referred to the production as a 3-year journey rather than a straight forward pre-prison portraiture.
This expansion accounts for the relatively lengthy run time. At 174 minutes (2 hours and 54 minutes) You Can See Everything explores Holmes, Evans, the filmmakers, and the larger spectrum of how documentary filmmaking and cameras ultimately impact those who are aware of the observational nature of filmmaking.
It was filmed in stealth for the better part of 3 years.
Its first public screening was unexpectedly at the Telluride Film Festival in September 2026.
Holmes’ partner Billy Evans is also important to the story.
At first, filmmakers had a lot of access to the couple and their family. Later, reports of the film described difficulties between Evans and the production team.
That becomes important, since the documentary deals with the idea of who owns the story.
Director and Producer Holmes and Evans had the right to control their story. Producer Fielder and Oppenheim had control to shape the story how they wanted.
According to the New York Film Festival, the movie looks into the behavior captured by the filmmakers and raises questions about the spontaneity of that behavior.
For individuals searching the title alongside the phrase ‘123 movie‘ on a search engine, the process and behavior captured by the filmmakers may be equally as interesting as the Theranos case itself.
You Can See Everything was made following a number of books, podcasts, other documentaries and dramatizations about Theranos.
In January 2022, Holmes was convicted of four federal counts of fraud for lying to investors. She began serving her 11 year prison sentence in May 2023.
The film does not attempt to retry the Theranos case.
The focus of the documentary is what happens when members of the credibility-challenged public become the subject of lengthy film coverage.
Seeing more of someone doesn’t mean you’ll understand them more.
You Can See Everything is Releasing on October 16
You Can See Everything will be released on October 16, 2026 by A24. It runs 2 hours and 54 minutes and is directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.
It premiered at the secretive Telluride festival and later screened at the 64th New York Film Festival.
The title captures the central paradox of the documentary.
You Can See Everything is a film that focuses on what you can and cannot see. In this film, cameras, what people decide to perform for them, and how to decipher if there is sincerity behind an act of manipulation becomes the focus.
For Fielder and Oppenheim, the 34 days before Holmes entered prison become an exploration of if seeing everything will eventually help people understand anything.
