Why it matters
It highlights how modern pop culture consumption and social media can rapidly shift public perception of a celebrity's image.
Since Joanie Montgomery saw Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary “You Can See Everything” last weekend, there has been one moment she can’t get out of her mind: a shot of Fielder wearing briefs and swimming in the ocean with his subject, Elizabeth Holmes. “It was very intimate, and he looked really beautiful,” said Montgomery, a 33-year-old Philadelphia-based drag artist who performs as Diva Baby. “I need him so bad. I don’t know what else to say.” Fielder and Oppenheim’s word-of-mouth sensation has taken pop culture by storm, earning millions at the box office, winning near-universal critical praise and generating a ton of press coverage, as well as Oscar buzz.
