A24 has released the full trailer for You Can See Everything, the Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes documentary that has been shrouded in secrecy for years — and the new footage is every bit as unnerving as the teaser that rattled viewers earlier this month.
The trailer, which dropped Wednesday, gives the clearest look yet at the film’s strange centerpiece: Fielder himself, sitting across from the disgraced Theranos founder and pressing her in ways no interviewer has before. At one point he asks Holmes point-blank whether she is being genuine. In another scene, she breaks down in tears during their conversation.
The most jaw-dropping moments, however, involve Holmes’ husband, Billy Evans. Fielder interrogates him about his marriage with startling bluntness. “Weren’t you worried she was sort of scamming you? Isn’t your family rich?” he asks, according to People’s breakdown of the trailer. Evans deflects, but the exchange sets the tone for the whole film: nothing is off-limits.
What Is the Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes Documentary About?
The film’s official synopsis lays out the wild premise. Thirty-four days before Holmes was sent to prison, the Silicon Valley founder invited a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What began as an intimate portrait then turned into what A24 calls a “mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.”
Fielder co-directed the project with acclaimed documentarian Lance Oppenheim (Some Kind of Heaven, Ren Faire). The pair were given extraordinary access to Holmes, Evans, and their family in the weeks before she reported to federal prison in May 2023. Fielder reportedly even lived with the couple during filming, according to Vanity Fair.
The documentary stayed secret until its surprise premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6. A24 confiscated attendees’ phones before the screening to prevent leaks, and Fielder faced the audience afterward with unusual candor. “I don’t know why I’m there,” he said during the Q&A, according to The New York Times. “I’m really struggling to this day to understand what I experienced.”
Why You Can See Everything Is Already Dividing Viewers
Reactions to the footage have been intense. After the one-minute teaser dropped earlier this month, YouTube commenters called it the scariest trailer they had ever seen, with one writing that there was “more tension here than in most horror movies.” The unease comes from Holmes herself, who stares down the camera and insists, “I’m always being real.”
Holmes appears to be leaning into the moment. Her X account, which has stayed active throughout her prison sentence, shared the trailer with the comment “I’m always being real.” Meanwhile, Fielder revealed at Telluride that Holmes and Evans had not yet watched the finished film themselves.
The Elizabeth Holmes Story Behind the Film
For anyone who missed the saga: Holmes founded the blood-testing startup Theranos in 2003 after dropping out of Stanford. At its peak, the company was valued at $9 billion, and Holmes was celebrated as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire. Then investigations revealed that Theranos’ signature technology did not work as claimed.
In January 2022, a jury convicted Holmes on four counts of fraud and conspiracy. She was sentenced to 11 years and three months in federal prison and reported to FPC Bryan in Texas in May 2023. Her story has already inspired Hulu’s Emmy-winning The Dropout and Alex Gibney’s documentary The Inventor — but this is the first time Holmes has participated in telling it herself. True-crime adaptations remain huge draws for streamers, as seen with recent hits like Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story on Netflix.
When Does You Can See Everything Come Out?
A24 will release the film exclusively in theaters on October 16, 2026, according to Variety. The documentary reportedly runs nearly three hours, which suggests Fielder and Oppenheim have a lot of material from their years of access.
So what happens next? First, audiences will finally see the footage A24 guarded so carefully at Telluride. In addition, the film’s release will test whether Holmes can reshape her public image from inside a prison cell — or whether Fielder’s deadpan interrogation does the opposite. Because if the trailer is any indication, this is not the sympathetic portrait she may have been hoping for.
