“You Can See Everything” first premiered as a surprise screening at Telluride Film Festival in September — earning rave reviews and sparking Oscar buzz — before heading to New York Film Festival, and is set to hit U.S. theaters on Oct. 16.
“Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move,” the doc’s official synopsis reads. “What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.”
During a Q&A at New York Film Festival last week, “The Rehearsal” and “Nathan for You” creator Fielder explained how he ended up co-helming the project with Oppenheim, who just made his narrative directorial debut with “Primetime” starring Robert Pattinson. After befriending Fielder, Oppenheim remembered that Holmes had reached out to A24 — the studio behind “Primetime” and “The Rehearsal” — about someone documenting her final days before prison. Fielder had already been fascinated by her, and they set up a meeting with Holmes and A24.
“When I met her, I remember having this weird experience where she seems so genuine at times,” Fielder said. “But then I’m like, ‘no,’ and clocking and tracking my thoughts and being like, ‘Okay, I know she’s a liar.’ It was a weird mental thing. From there, we were like, ‘Can we roll the dice on something if they were open to having cameras in?'”
Roll the dice they did, and it resulted in Fielder fully moving into Holmes’ house that she shares with her partner, Billy Evans, and their two young children.
“I cannot tell you how weird it was that we were there,” Fielder said. “Truly, to this day, we’re still like — anyways, sorry. I wouldn’t think I’d be the person you would want for your final period. I’m a nice person, I do believe, but I’m not the most comforting. You know what I mean? I think you know.”
