Pretty much all I’ve been able to think about this week is Nathan Fielder’s new Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, and now, praise God, I have very much seen it with my own eyes.
My primary takeaway from this bizarre three-hour masterpiece is that human beings are fascinating in their heartrending fallibility and infinite ego… but I also recorded (quite literally) every thought I had while watching the documentary. Read them all below, but be warned: spoilers ahead.
Liz!
THE Liz!
God, I can already tell this husband sucks because he just used the words “radical transparency” in reference to his and Elizabeth Holmes’s participation in a Nathan Fielder documentary.
There she is, folks.
I am already bummed out by the presence of these kids in this movie.
I need to rewatch Amanda Seyfried as Holmes, stat.
Wow, Theranos was really billed as “the iPod of healthcare,” huh.
The cut between the description of Holmes’s fraud and her reading to her baby…wild.
In fact, this is all…simply wild.
Sorry, I don’t have a better word for it than that!
As of yet, anyway.
Damn, haven’t heard the name “Sunny Balwani” in a while.
Holmes didn’t speak publicly for seven years?
I would love to be in a position to offer Nathan Fielder a bagel.
LOL, the “Holmes denying she committed a crime” section of this movie has begun.
Get her, Nathan!
“All I know is my truth” —the most manipulative person you’ve ever met.
Sorry if I sound heartless about Holmes being forced to leave her family for prison, but that sadly happens to a lot of moms, most of them without Holmes’s resources or history of large-scale fraud.
Nobody says “wow” quite like Nathan Fielder.
This man is so insane.
Holmes’s husband, to be clear, not Fielder.
Billy Evans (the husband) meeting and falling in love with Holmes post-downfall is either romantic or terrifying, and I’m not sure which.
“Yeah, I like women.” Sure.
I want to go to the Nathan Fielder school of investigative journalism.
Wait, Evans did worry Holmes was scamming him?
Obsessed with him trying to plead down the family-wealth allegations.
Just sit with it, diva!
God, the lighting of Holmes is (say it with me) wild.
Not this frontal shot of Evans at the gym!
“So who messed up, then, in this process?”
Exactly, Nathan.
God, the learned helplessness radiating from Holmes is crazy.
These recorded side convos between Holmes and Evans…
WHY WOULD YOU LET NATHAN FIELDER INTO YOUR HOME 24/7?
“Liz, what? You’ve never lied in your life?”
Oscar for Nathan Fielder, immediately.
Bummed out once again at how cute this baby is.
Fielder continually just stating the facts of Holmes’s deception and watching her lie to him about it is breaking my brain.
“So this is the famous scam device.” LOL.
“Well, why choose those words?”
We are really getting down to semiotics here, and I’m into it.
Lot of debate about what a lie is!
“Say what’s there” is advice a lot of people could use.
Okay, so Holmes and Evans are definitively not classic-comedy fans.
Fielder playing “Who’s on First?” for Holmes while she holds her baby is making me short-circuit.
Ah, the dulcet tones of men explaining comedy.
Then again, I guess Nathan Fielder is very qualified.
