In ‘You Can See Everything,’ Elizabeth Holmes meets her equal in comedian Nathan Fielder

“Isn’t it weird that I like, did a TV show about kind of a business scam, and you got in trouble for like… a business scam?” comedian and filmmaker Nathan Fielder gently asks Elizabeth Holmes.

One month before the notorious Theranos CEO surrendered to begin her eleven-year criminal fraud sentence in 2023, Holmes and her husband contacted A24 as a last-ditch effort to exonerate her in the public eye, suggesting they send a film crew to document her final days of freedom. Alongside director Lance Oppenheim, Fielder — a cringe-comedy mastermind whose work often walks the line between fact and fiction — embraced the impossible project of figuring out who the infamous Stanford dropout really is.

“I never actually made that connection,” says Holmes. “I think it’s a pretty different situation.”
