You Can See Everything Review: The documentary You Can See Everything had its top-secret, phone-free screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, 2026. The documentary by A24 is reportedly scheduled for theatrical release in October.
The reaction to Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim got the viewers on X (formerly Twitter) talking.
You Can See Everything Review: What is it?
The Telluride audience was asked not to spoil what happens, and the people coming out of the screening have been very carefully dancing around the actual details. X user @JoeyMagidson admits defeat, calling the film, which was to be seen to be believed, further adding, It starts as one thing before evolving into something that literally took my breath away. My lips are sealed, but you’re not prepared. “
The user clearly states that their lips are sealed, so no, this is not going to be an article where we ruin whatever has been cooked, but about the reactions that are taking up X because they have their own story.
X Has Absolutely No Idea What To Do With the Movie
User Matt Neglia, username @NextBestPicture, posting from Telluride, perhaps summed the collective experience most accurately with a kind of disbelief attached.
The user then called You Can See Everything one of the best documentaries they have ever seen, further adding, “Shocking, expansive, and revealing, depending on what you choose to believe. At 174 minutes, it never lags, but it certainly lingers, leaving behind haunting revelations and disturbing moral contradictions that I’m still trying to wrap my head around.”
The review suggests that Fielder appears to be interested in something much more uncomfortable, mentioning that it was “A mesmerizing psychological excavation of truth, performance, and self-deception that will have you questioning every glance, gesture, and word and all through Fielder’s dark, comedic point of view. Gorgeously photographed and edited. Completely stunned.”
Another user, @MovieMantz, was considerably less philosophical about it. The verdict was simply “brilliant”, calling it gripping, riveting, offbeat, fascinating and revealing.
The Nathan Fielder Touch
There is something perfect about Nathan Fielder being the one who made the film. Elizabeth Holmes spent years creating the persona around her: the black turtlenecks; the deep voice; the story of the impossibly young entrepreneur who was supposedly going to change healthcare forever, but it collapsed suddenly.
Even after the Theranos scandal, Holmes remained fascinating partly because of the question that never really disappeared: who was Elizabeth Holmes really?
Nathan Fielder seems to have spent good time figuring that out.
User @ThatRebecca posted after the screening that Fielder told the audience during Q&A, “The challenging thing is he’s still sort of a conduit to her.”
If the person who spent so much time and made the documentary is still trying to process, what chance do we have?
The user, @howatdk, writes that the documentary is perhaps the “most hysterical, shocking, insane documentary I’ve ever seen.“
Another user, @miguelaraizac, meanwhile mentions that people at Telluride were calling it a “madness” and a “masterpiece”, while @3martamp described the surprise screening as something the audience said you have to watch to believe.
Three Hours Do Not Feel Long
The documentary runs for 174 minutes, which is nearly three hours, and X user @NextBestPicture suggests that it never lags.
Three hours of Elizabeth Holmes could have very easily become exhausting; her story already seems familiar enough to feel like cultural shorthand. You Can See Everything, however, seems to have found a different rhythm, and the evolution matters.
There is the Teaser We Can All Watch
If the movie’s reactions sound completely unhinged, the teaser is almost comically restrained by comparison.
The 1:17-minute-long, You Can See Everything teaser does not attempt to explain the documentary: it does not give any recap or bombard us with headlines about the scandal. It gives Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder staring at each other, and somehow, it is unsettling and bothersome.
Holmes insists that she has nothing to deceive Fielder about, while the latter, with deadpan discomfort, asks whether she is being real with him, and Holmes says that she always has been.
That is the teaser, and yet it feels like a staring contest between two different approaches: Holmes is trying to say that there is nothing hidden, while Fielder’s entire presence looks to say: “okay but what if we just keep looking?”
The You Can See Everything teaser leans into the uncomfortable intimacy of the setup: Holmes’ face fills the frame; her eyes do not really move; Fielder does not seem interested in breaking the awkwardness; there is no dramatic score telling us what to think.
So, Is You Can See Everything Worth Watching?
Based purely on the first reactions on X from Telluride Film Festival, we can nod yes. This is not because everyone agrees that it is “good”, but because almost everyone agrees that it is an experience.
X user @AnastsiaK47 writes, “Fielder brings out actual Theranos devices from storage to test if they’re real. “
Somewhere in all of this is Elizabeth Holmes staring directly into a camera and insisting that she is always real, which perhaps is the miniature. A woman asking you to believe what she says; a filmmaker refusing to look away; and an audience stuck in the middle trying to figure out if anyone is performing or if it’s all real.
You Can See Everything is scheduled to arrive in theatres in October this year, with A24 behind the release. The internet has been handed a teaser and absolutely no spoilers.
