You Can See Everything review: Wild Elizabeth Holmes doc is one of the craziest movies Ive ever seen

Running time: 174 minutes.Rated R (language and some graphic nudity).

In theatersMovies don’t come much wilder than “You Can See Everything,” Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s brilliant, up-close-and-personal documentary about convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes that’s already the talker of the year.The Theranos founder with a husky voice and giant freaky eyes out of a Walter Keane painting has endlessly fascinated the world since her story was dramatized on the 2022 series “The Dropout” starring Amanda Seyfried. After that hit — a hit-job in her estimation — Holmes became a party impression, a Halloween costume, an “SNL” joke and a dinner table topic.Whatever she is, most rational people believe that what she did — misleading the public and deep-pocketed investors that her “revolutionary” blood-testing device actually worked — was wrong.But not off-her-rocker Holmes and her equally delusional and sometimes downright villainous fiancé, Billy Evans, who we meet in this truly shocking and invasive film.

Watching “You Can See Everything” is like being on Willy Wonka’s messed-up boat for three unbelievable hours.If the pair’s aim was to show that Holmes is perfectly normal, um, whoops! Over and over she stares frighteningly into the distance as if about to say, “Mr.DeMille,...
