‘You Can See Everything’ debuts at Telluride, challenging who gets to tell the Theranos saga
Comedian‑director Nathan Fielder and co‑director Lance Oppenheim premiere their provocative Theranos documentary at the Telluride Film Festival, sparking a lively debate about narrative ownership.
When Nathan Fielder steps away from the awkward humor of his TV shows and into the world of documentary filmmaking, you know something interesting is about to happen. Together with longtime collaborator Lance Oppenheim, he unveiled You Can See Everything at the Telluride Film Festival, a film that zeroes in on the final days before Elizabeth Holmes walks into prison.
The movie doesn’t just recount the rise and fall of Theranos; it asks a louder question: who really owns a story as massive as Holmes’? Fielder’s trademark dead‑pan style is still there, but it’s tinged with a genuine curiosity that feels less like a joke and more like a quiet probe into ambition, deception, and the media circus that surrounded the startup.
Yahoo Finance’s Morning Brief host Julie Hyman sat down with Breaking Business News reporter Jake Conley and TMX Wall Street Horizon’s Christine Short to unpack the film. They noted how the directors let Holmes speak for herself—letting viewers hear the same voice that once charmed investors, while juxtaposing it with the stark reality of her pending sentence.
What makes the documentary stand out, according to the panel, is its refusal to vilify or glorify. Instead, it presents a collage of interviews, courtroom footage, and behind‑the‑scenes moments that make you feel as if you’re watching a live feed of the whole saga—hence the title. It’s a reminder that, in the age of streaming and social media, every piece of the puzzle can become public, whether we want it to be or not.
Audience reaction at Telluride was mixed but unmistakably engaged. Some cheered the raw honesty; others felt the film lingered too long on Holmes’ own narration. Either way, Fielder and Oppenheim have succeeded in reigniting the conversation, proving that even a story that’s been told a hundred times can still surprise us—if only we let ourselves see everything.
