‘Misconception,’ Billy Evans Says as He Addresses Rumors He Controlled Elizabeth Holmes in ‘You Can See Everything’

A documentary follows Holmes

Nathan Fielder’s documentary You Can See Everything follows Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the now-defunct biotech company Theranos. It was made before she began serving an 11-year prison sentence for fraud.

The film premiered at Telluride Film Festival on September 6 in a surprise screening. Variety described it as a “fascinating” look at duplicity, and said viewers’ urge to keep watching intensified as it went on.

Trailer shows tense exchanges

The first official trailer was released on September 8, featuring a conversation between Fielder and Holmes. When he asked whether she was being real, Holmes replied, “I’m always being real.” A further trailer, released on September 23, showed Fielder pressing Holmes about how she reached her current situation. Asked whether she worried about him filming her at home around the clock, Holmes said she saw it as a chance to capture the story before she was gone.

Evans rejects control claim

On November 2, Evans responded to an X user who raised the idea that he controlled Holmes. He called it “one misconception” about their relationship and said people who knew her would find the claim hilarious.

At an October Q&A following a Los Angeles screening, Oppenheim said neither Holmes nor Evans had watched the film. The Hollywood Reporter also reported that Evans had a strained relationship with the crew.

Release and other Holmes projects

You Can See Everything is currently available in theaters, with no streaming date announced. It may later arrive on HBO Max: Warner Bros. Discovery has an agreement for A24 titles to go there first after theatrical and PVOD windows end. Earlier screen portrayals of Holmes include HBO’s 2019 documentary The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley and Hulu’s 2022 miniseries The Dropout, starring Amanda Seyfried.
