There’s a full trailer for _You Can See Everything_, and The Guardian gave it a 5-star review. I was a little weirded out by the first snippet, but now I’m intrigued. > Those who were [at the NYC film festival premier] can confirm: the hype is deserved. You Can See Everything is, somehow, more shocking, twistier, thornier and revealing than billed – a stupefying and gloriously destabilizing hall of psychological mirrors, a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime collision of director and subject. You know from the minute Billy Evans, Holmes’s shifty husband-cum-business partner who entered the picture post-Theranos, claims that “the best way for people to see who she is … is to give as much access as possible into our daily lives”, while lying with Holmes on a playroom floor, that you’re in for a wild ride. My mouth was agape for, conservatively, one half of the film’s unusually deserved three-hour run time. > … > The result is a three-hour documentary filmed like a thriller and scored like a drama that plays like an unraveling of certainty in real time. > **[You Can See Everything review – Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes doc is a...](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oct/01/you-can-see-everything-movie-review)** > > No spoilers here – TV’s grand illusionist meets his match when he moves in with Theranos founder and her family [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/HvW_N5p1q44/maxresdefault.jpg "You Can See Everything | Official Trailer HD | A24") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvW_N5p1q44) ---

Does anyone else wonder if the cover art (promotional poster) for the Holmes documentary ( **You Can See Everything** , with a close-up image of Holmes’ facade of a face, masking untold malevolence) and 1985’s **Come and See** (depicting a close-up of a borderline adolescent child’s face with a thousand yard stare, witness to countless traumas) is intentional? Like, to suggest that the tech startup culture that enabled Holmes could have such adverse affects on humanity, in the end, as to rival Nazi Germany’s scourging of Eastern Europe?
