Her science may have been fiction, but the strange saga of disgraced American business tycoon Elizabeth Holmes proves all too real in Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s meta-documentary You Can See Everything (A-). The film interrogates the notion of truth itself as co-director and wry Everyman Fielder moves in with Holmes and her husband for the weeks leading up to her imprisonment for defrauding investors about her blood-test technology invention. The co-directors create an unsettling sense of claustrophobic atmosphere as they enter the couple’s intimate environment to ask them questions the world has been wondering. The film’s titillating entreaty is answered and much more, even though, like a narrative film such as Anatomy of a Fall, an audience member’s POV on the nature and reliability of the characters may shift and change throughout the doc’s duration. Memorable sequences unfold seaside, with metaphorical waves lapping up each fleeting glimpse at the true crime subjects at work and play. Audiences will want to stick through the nearly three hour runtime as some of the best turns occur in the final act. It’s a rewarding and absorbing watch with lots of surprises and one of the year’s most cleverly constructed stories.
