Elizabeth Holmes Trailer – You Can See Everything Oct 16

The full‑length preview reveals Nathan Fielder’s uneasy sit‑down with the disgraced Theranos founder ahead of the film’s Oct 16 theatrical debut.

A24 rolled out the official trailer for You Can See Everything on Wednesday, giving audiences a first‑look at Nathan Fielder’s intimate, and at times uncomfortable, encounter with former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes. The documentary, which premiered in secret at the Telluride Film Festival, will hit theatres across the U.S. On October 16 after a brief run at the New York Film Festival on September 30.

The film is the brainchild of Canadian comedian‑turned‑filmmaker Nathan Fielder, known for the surreal series Nathan for You and The Rehearsal, and director Lance Oppenheim. Over a three‑year period they followed Holmes for roughly a month in the weeks leading up to her incarceration in May 2023, capturing her attempts to shape the narrative of the Theranos scandal that once boasted a $9 billion valuation.

What the Trailer Reveals

The new trailer opens with Fielder moving into Holmes’s home, notebook in hand, as he explains his mission to “see everything.” It quickly shifts to a series of clipped conversations that feel part interview, part interrogation. In one exchange, Fielder asks, “You really feel you did nothing wrong?” Holmes replies flatly, “I did not.” The camera then lingers on a moment where Holmes admits it took her “a really long time to be OK with letting someone see me cry,” before a single tear rolls down her cheek.

The clip also features Holmes’s boyfriend, Billy Evans, fielding Fielder’s probing about the couple’s finances. “Weren’t you worried she was sort of scamming you? Isn’t your family rich?” Fielder asks. Evans replies, “Yeah, I think there’s like a lot of different levels of wealth.” The back‑and‑forth feels deliberately uneasy, underscoring the documentary’s promise to blur the line between empathy and scrutiny.

Industry buzz has been swift. Deadline noted that the teaser that went viral earlier this month set high expectations, and the full trailer “doesn’t disappoint for any of the 174 minutes of its running time,” quoting its own reviewer Pete Hammond. The Hollywood Reporter’s Angie Han described the film as starting “as a fascinatingly intimate portrait of a deluded or disingenuous scammer” before morphing into something “wilder, more ambitious and less predictable.” She added that the second half of the documentary “kicks into a second fifth gear,” hinting at a structural shift that could keep viewers on edge.

Beyond the emotional beats, the trailer hints at the film’s broader ambition: to let Holmes, now serving an 11‑year sentence, voice her side of a story that has already spawned podcasts, books, a limited series, and multiple documentaries. By giving her a platform just weeks before she entered prison, the directors claim to have captured a raw, unfiltered glimpse of a woman still convinced of her innocence.

The documentary’s festival circuit is already mapped out. After its surprise world premiere at Telluride, the film will appear in the Spotlight Lineup at the New York Film Festival on September 30, before moving to a wide theatrical rollout on October 16. A24 has positioned the release as a must‑see event for both true‑crime aficionados and fans of Fielder’s off‑beat storytelling style.

Whether the film will reshape public perception of Holmes remains to be seen, but the trailer makes clear that You Can See Everything aims to be more than a simple recounting of fraud. It promises a meta‑commentary on narrative control, the limits of redemption, and the uneasy dance between documentary maker and subject. As the release date approaches, the conversation will likely shift from “what happened at Theranos?” to “how much of this story can we actually trust when the protagonist is behind bars.”

For now, the trailer offers a tantalising mix of confession, confrontation, and a dash of Fielder’s trademark deadpan humor – a cocktail that should keep both critics and curious viewers glued to the cinema seats come mid‑October.
