If you’ve been curious about Nathan Fielder’s recent endeavors after viewing the newest season of The Rehearsal, we have the scoop for you.
The comedian, writer, and director from Vancouver unveiled a teaser on Sunday evening for his upcoming project, a documentary focusing on Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who was notoriously found guilty of fraud in 2022 after her company asserted it had developed a blood testing method capable of detecting numerous diseases with just a few drops of blood.
The film, titled You Can See Everything, was crafted in collaboration with documentarian Lance Oppenheim and focuses on the period leading up to Holmes’s imprisonment in 2023.
Oppenheim is known for previous works like Spermworld (2024), an FX documentary about sperm donation, and Some Kind of Heaven (2020), which explores a retirement community in Florida.
Fielder gained recognition through Nathan For You, a Comedy Central series where he offered misguided business advice to entrepreneurs. He previously captured the attention of Canadian audiences with his segments titled “Nathan On Your Side” on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes from 2008 to 2009.
You Can See Everything is being released by A24, a studio popular among Gen Z. The trailer features the signature high-saturation color palette and an unsettling atmosphere typical of the company.
It includes a nearly one-minute intimate dialogue between Holmes and Fielder. They share an intense gaze, with Holmes asking, “Why would I deceive you? There’s no — there’s no reason for me to do that.”
Following a brief silence, Fielder, looking incredulous, responds, “You’re being real right now?”
The trailer was launched alongside a surprise screening on Sunday at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. While reviews from the event have not yet emerged, several critics took to social media to share their enthusiastic responses.
Film director Daniel Howat commented on X after the screening that You Can See Everything “is perhaps the most hilarious, shocking, and mind-boggling documentary I’ve ever encountered. Continuously thought-provoking… A work of genius.”
Los Angeles music producer Erik Nordgren described it as “undoubtedly the best film of the year for me, potentially making my best of the decade list. It transforms from an intensely discomforting documentary to something that is even more structurally, stylistically, and formally astonishing. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced.”
The interaction recalls another awkward and lesser-known interview Fielder conducted in 2008 with former CBC president Hubert T. Lacroix on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, where Lacroix, professing to admire Fielder’s work, struggles to recall specific examples.
You Can See Everything is slated for theatrical release next month.
