Rating<\/strong>: *** \u00bd<\/p>\n

\u00a0But can you see everything? That\u2019s the main question asked by Nathan Fielder in his meta documentary You Can See Everything<\/strong>. It not only subverts form, it asks us to consider everything he captures on camera about his subject Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of now-defunct health care outfit Theranos. Is she as innocent as she claims or the greatest manipulator of our time? Are we seeing a performance or the real thing? Once it\u2019s done, you still might not have definitive answers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So you\u2019ve probably been hearing a lot about the twist in You Can See Everything<\/strong>. I will confirm that it takes a wild turn into unexpected territory about midway through its nearly three-hour run time. It keeps going after Holmes reports to federal prison to begin serving her 11-year sentence for defrauding investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars on a product that never worked. Where it goes, I won\u2019t say. I\u2019ll only tell you that it\u2019ll have you rethinking everything you just saw. It\u2019s really quite brilliant what Fielder and co-director Lance Oppenheim (Primetime) do here.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Ostensibly, You Can See Everything<\/strong> is about Elizabeth Holmes. Fielder and his small crew are invited to stay with Holmes and her husband Billy Evans for the final days leading up to her reporting to a prison camp in Bryan, TX to start serving her time. Right off the bat, something is off about their dynamic. You can see it when Billy takes over making breakfast because Elizabeth isn\u2019t whisking the eggs the right way. Turns out he\u2019s a bit of a control freak. He displays his need to control everything, including the narrative, throughout.<\/p>\n

\u00a0As Fielder talks to Holmes, it\u2019s clear she has issues. Through his interactions with his subject, we learn that she believes she\u2019s done nothing wrong. He tries to explain it to her using cold, hard facts, but she just doesn\u2019t seem to get it. At one point, he tries to illustrate his point by showing her the famous Abbott and Costello routine \u201cWho\u2019s on First?\u201d She doesn\u2019t get why it\u2019s funny or how it pertains to her as it relates to her handling of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0During his time with Holmes, Fielder understands her less and less. He ends up with more questions than answers mainly because she can\u2019t or won\u2019t give him any straight answers. Billy isn\u2019t much better. He typically dodges questions with non-answers all of which affirm his complete dominance over his wife. It\u2019s an interesting dichotomy, a supposedly powerful woman under the influence of a domineering man. I\u2019m sure feminists might have a few things to say on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Amanda Seyfried played Holmes in the Hulu miniseries The Dropout. She won a Golden Globe for her performance. I didn\u2019t see it, but I hear it\u2019s quite good. She appears as herself in You Can See Everything<\/strong>. She shows up at the midway point. I\u2019m not going to tell you how she factors into the documentary, but she does an amazing job.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I wasn\u2019t planning on seeing You Can See Everything<\/strong> at the cinema. I assumed it would play for a week and make a quick trip to digital. I figured I could wait. Then I heard all the glowing reviews and saw it making serious cash at the box office. I decided to check it out for myself. Thankfully, my AMC of choice only had one release this weekend, the execrable comedy-horror Christmas with the Kringles. Since I already saw it at Monday\u2019s Screen Unseen event, my schedule was free and clear. I have to admit I\u2019m impressed with You Can See Everything<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t what I was expecting at all. I love how it subverts the idea of documentary into something like reality TV and performance art. It\u2019s really something.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Fielder, a comedian best known for the reality show parody Nathan for You, doesn\u2019t even try to make Holmes or Billy likable. He puts their flaws front and center showing her refusal to admit or even acknowledge any wrongdoing and his controlling nature. He doesn\u2019t just exert over her either. During a sit-down with the directors and A24 execs, he demands to be paid a percentage of the film\u2019s profits, a deal that constitutes an instant conflict of interest. There\u2019s no way to soften it; Billy is an arrogant, opportunistic prick.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Speaking of conflict of interest, questions about Fielder\u2019s objectivity come up when it\u2019s implied he might have feelings for Holmes that go beyond his interest in telling his story. Perhaps he\u2019s struggling with the choice to expose or protect her. Again, there are no clear answers. The viewer must decide for him or herself what version of the truth is most truthful. It\u2019s kind of hard in a movie filled with unreliable narrators.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In the end, you have to decide what or who you want to believe. We know that Holmes committed serious financial crimes. We know she refuses to take responsibility for her actions. Whether it\u2019s by choice or mental disability, that\u2019s subject to one\u2019s own interpretation of the reality presented by Fielder. That is, if this is true reality or one fabricated by the filmmaker. This leads back to my original question, can you really see everything? I have no answer.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
