TechCrunch reported that the nearly three-hour movie received a score of 99 percent on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. The film had been first revealed last month during a secretive screening at the Telluride Film Festival. [1]

You Can See Everything was directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The film follows Holmes and her partner Billy Evans, who invited a camera crew to document them in the weeks before Holmes began serving a United States federal prison sentence for defrauding investors. [7]

Holmes originally founded her health technology company Theranos in 2003. Theranos claimed to use very small volumes of blood for testing, and the business reached a valuation of 9 billion dollars before accusations of fraud surfaced in 2016. [8]
