You Can See Everything

“In a seemingly endless succession of documentaries, dramatisations and investigative reports, Elizabeth Holmes – the inventor of a supposedly ‘miraculous’ medical device at her company Theranos and sentenced to prison for fraud – has been the face of Silicon Valley’s quackery. However, in this surprising new film by Nathan Fielder (The Rehearsal and The Curse) and Lance Oppenheim (Primetime), filmed in secret over the last four years, Holmes becomes a completely different sort of character in front of the camera. Inviting Fielder to live in their home and begin filming their lives just 34 days before her arrest, Holmes and her partner, William ‘Billy’ Evans, declare their innocence on their own terms, in an intimate manner. Is all this an elaborate ploy? Or is something even stranger going on? Fielder and Oppenheim have created a fascinating portrait of a relationship, shattering notions of objectivity in the documentary whilst simultaneously questioning the boundaries of fiction. This act of mind-bending, dizzying — and often hilarious — self-reflection shifts shape and reveals surprises as it plunges headlong into the unknown.” — NYFF
