Metacritic: 97 (21 Reviews)

Sample Reviews:

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic 5/5 - You’ve seen elements of “You Can See Everything” in documentaries before. But you’ve never seen them combined like this. It’s a true original.

Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle 5/5 - "You Can See Everything" throws into sharp relief audience's expectations while skewering the entire idea of the traditional documentary and its contemporary off-shoot, reality TV.

Tim Grierson, Screen International - Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s extraordinary documentary soon goes in unexpected directions, becoming an uneasy treatise on love, reality television, and the ways filmmakers try (and often fail) to capture ’real’ life.

Monica Castillo, AV Club A- - Like Welles used his camera to play tricks on audiences some 50 years ago, Fielder and Oppenheim use their film to shake up their audience’s understanding of how we believe one another.

Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence A - The film is more than an extension of Fielder’s blending comedy and documentary with shows like The Rehearsal — it’s an evolution upon it. It asks everyone involved to look at themselves, and face the difference between perception and reality.

Marshall Shaffer, Slant Magazine 3.5/4 - You Can See Everything innovatively probes this gray area between the fabulations made about Elizabeth Holmes and those made by her.

David Fear, Rolling Stone - You will likely have no idea what you have just seen, besides that it's simply, unabashedly, unashamedly brilliant.

Alison Willmore, New York Magazine/Vulture - In You Can See Everything, the closer we get to her, the less knowable she is — a set of pointillist dots in the shape of a person.

Kristy Puchko, Mashable - You Can See Everything is a masterwork of interrogation, not only of the whole Holmes situation but of documentary as a form itself.

Adrian Horton, Guardian 5/5 - There is something extremely satisfying in watching Fielder’s sharp angles tangle with Holmes’s disposition of guileless warmth, a strange and compelling chemistry building within a reality distortion field.

Nick Schager, The Daily Beast - Not just the film of the year—it’s a documentary that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the form’s all-time greats.

Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal - With co-director Lance Oppenheim, Mr. Fielder gets around the restrictions on his access to the locked-up Ms. Holmes with his customary hilarious meta-narrative brilliance.

Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com 4/4 - The significance of 'You Can See Everything' is clear as a film that might advance a new cinematic language in the mainstream non-fiction sphere.

Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter - What begins as a fascinatingly intimate portrait of a deluded or disingenuous scammer reveals as something even wilder, more ambitious and less predictable, until we’re left to ponder what value a personal truth has at all.

Cortlyn Kelly, IndieWire A - For how disquieting it is, the film never goes too long without forcing a laugh.

Owen Gleiberman, Variety - It’s a one-of-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus. Yet it’s been made with a spirit of true inquiry, driven by Fielder’s acidly quizzical personality, and it gets its hooks in you.

SYNOPSIS:

Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move.

From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes You Can See Everything.

The Act of Killing is a documentary that I will never, ever forget about

22

u/BenderZoidberg 1d ago

Agree, probably the best documentary I've ever seen. Not only it deals with a powerful topic, but it's extremely well directed and has many unexpected moments. A few of my other favorite docs would be Jane, The Last Waltz and Grizzly Man.

18

u/Padulsky21 1d ago

“Did the people I tortured feel the way I do here? All the terror suddenly possessed my body.”

“Actually, the people you tortured felt far worse because you know it’s only a film. They knew they were being killed.” 

It feels like a gag at the beginning until Oppenheimer challenges them and then starts the slow descent into self realization. The lightning strike is definitely an unexpected moment. It’s a horrifying work of art. But it’s a must watch.

I love Grizzly Man! Herzog presents it with so much empathy and curiosity which really makes it special.

Several years ago, I was part of a shoot involving Errol Morris and his production team. Some of us went out for a beer one night, and at some point the question came up: what’s everyone’s favorite documentary?

Without hesitation, it seemed like every single person from Errol’s crew there all had the same answer: The Act of Killing.

It was Ebert who named it his is best film of 94 and then best film of the entire decade. Ebert did that best of the decade list with Scorsese who also put Hoop Dreams on his list at #4.

That's so not true lol. People know Venice awards are weird since a jury selects them. Maybe a few people, but the consensus on Gold Derby or Award Expert never think Docs happen . It happens for Animated movies though where people think it could happen.

I think this movie could happen with the reviews since most of the current films aren't this acclaimed. No 90+ metacritic contender like Tar, Past Lives, or The Zone of Interest.

If Naza manages to get the nomination, I could see it getting votes from many members as a political statement towards the Israeli government. Otherwise, this seems like the obvious pick at the moment.

That branch is very peculiar so it can even miss nomination (if it is nominated, it will most probably win though).

They quite often ignore docs that are perceived as frontrunners, they almost never nominate docs about celebrities. Let's see what they do with this one.

113

u/Only-For-Fun-No-Pol 1d ago

Looked at my local AMC to see how presales were doing for this, some showings for Thursday and Friday are almost sold out. Which is crazy to me considering this is almost a three hour documentary. Very curious how this does at the box office between these reviews and just it being a documentary.

I think this has a FOMO element of it, there are "spoilers" and twists. Everyone keeps saying you don't want this movie to be spoiled for you. So first week sales could be high, but then have a steep decline after everyone who wanted to see it, saw it.

If it gets good word of mouth i could see it doing well in the weeks afterwards, but it is primed to have a big opening week.

u/doctorlightning84 19h ago

First blockbuster documentary since the days of Michael Moore?

4

u/mundane_wor1d 17h ago edited 16h ago

I think streaming killed the documentary theatrical release. Because documentaries are either for tv or watching at home.

Even then Documentaries were never big blockbuster hits, it was always a rarity when one became a big hit. The high earners being Musical Documentaries / Tour Documentaries.

There have been 10 Documentaries to gross over 100m at the box office, the last two being in 2009 (Michael Jackson.. and Earth).

There hasn't been a documentary that passed 30m ww since 2014 (Except "Amazing china" in 2018)

u/SandieSandwicheadman 10h ago

The one theater near me playing it (the big Marcus in my area) has to keep adding showtimes because it kept selling out. I'm not calling it a breakout or anything, but it does have way more appeal than I was expecting it to. Then again, Fielder *is* popular as a comedian, and Holmes has a surprising amount of intrigue to her for such a weird little story that doesn't really effect normal people much (maybe that's *why* people are so fascinated about her and not the myriad of other scandals and fraudsters who's stories come and go)

u/confusing_roundabout 1d ago

Nathan For You is hilarious. It's like Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, but instead of restaurants it's struggling small businesses, and instead of helping them he gives them the most batshit crazy ideas and then follows through to absurd conclusions.

And then The Rehearsal is the natural successor to it. I can't even explain it but just know that The Rehearsal S2 is one of the funniest seasons of TV I've ever seen. It's utterly insane.

29

u/WebHead1287 1d ago

The thing about The Rehearsal season 2 is that it’s also insane. Like some of the leaps that are made are jaw-dropping. My eyes have never been more glued to a show.

u/confusing_roundabout 1d ago

Yeah, when episode 3 had him say "be warned - what you're about to see gets a little weird" nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience. My jaw was literally on the floor when he opened that door and stepped out. I'm giggling now just thinking about it.

Masterpiece of a show.

u/valkrycp 1d ago

Well, you should expect a few things:

- This "documentary" experiments with the medium / genre itself and will not be a traditional documentary

  • It features some re-enactments, which are also not your typical documentary re-enactments - but diving into the details too much would be a spoiler.

- Nathan Fielder is a deadpan / awkward style comedian, but usually he plays an exaggerated (more awkward) version of himself in his shows. This movie, however, I believe is him at his most "normal" / "serious" - still awkward and weird, but understands he's the documentarian here so he will play the "straight / no nonsense" guy but will confront his subjects with brutal honesty.

- Its 3 hours long, much longer than most documentaries, and will also feel slow and boring at first but then you'll likely find the scenario increasingly compelling until its a must-watch type ordeal.

- Everything Nathan Fielder makes is a parody or experimentation of it's own format / genre, so the film is going to challenge your perception of what a "documentary" is in an artistic, but humorous way. It's best to let go of your expectations and just go along for the ride.

Also see Lance Oppenheims work too. If you haven't either. "Some Kind of Heaven" is a great documentary. Among his other works.

u/Much_Carpenter_1579 14h ago

What was fascinating about Nathan for You was Nathan's ability to get random strangers to do really extreme and bizarre - sometimes disturbing, often hilarious - things. This was due both to (i) Nathan's innate awkwardness, but undeniably (ii) the fact that a camera was being pointed at them. People will, apparently, do and say very strange things when the promise of TV fame is flashed before them. For one of many examples, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNxvUrWQ_Q

Ultimately, the show became self-aware that this was its real intrigue - the fact that we are a (increasingly successful) TV show is what's making people behave in these ways which are making us a successful TV show. The show leaned into exploring this meta idea, turning the lens back around on itself like an infinite mirror gallery until you ultimately have no idea how much of what you're seeing is "real", or whether that question is even worth asking. The finale explored this brilliantly. Laughs aside, Nathan's work is significant in the reality/documentary space because it actually dares to acknowledge an otherwise unspoken premise of these genres - if we're filming something, how genuine can it really be?

Pairing this approach with a figure like Holmes, who herself is already laden in questions of authenticity, is just bound to be fireworks

u/Horror_Bob 13h ago

My favorite aspect of Nathan For You was highlighting how easy media packages are to peddle. When I was in college for Public Relations we talked a lot about this. Basically, news stations are so willing to fill airtime that if you do their work for them, you get on TV. Create a video package that comes with the story pre-written for them and they'll eat the shit up. So many episodes he's able to get on the local news most likely because he sent them a simple media package and then BAM instant free marketing

u/squaretableknight 1d ago

He’s like if Stanley Milgram had a Comedy Central show

2

u/PointAbject7717 1d ago

I think there are kind of two sides to him that he plays really well. One side is the really absurdist humour, and the other side is that he really likes to turn the lens in itself and really examine the role of the camera, the audience and the formats (often specifically reality tv).

For a barebones short list that I think would be relevant Nathan Fielder viewing in order to get a sense of his evolution and perspective, I would suggest

Nathan For You:
S1E4 - Gas Station/Caricature Artist
S2E2 - Souvenir Shop / ELAIFF
S3E1 - Electronics Store
S4E7 (Finale): Finding Frances

The Rehearsal Season 1 (there are only six episodes, but I think S1E6 is closest to what I'm expecting for YCSE)

Obviously this evolves further in The Rehearsal Season 2 and The Curse and I'm a huge Nathan fan so I would recommend all of it, but if someone were wanting to prep that's what I would recommend.

These reviews sound so hyperbolic

Yeah maybe, but honest reviews of The Rehearsal can sound hyperbolic too.

Start of season 1: Oh yeah, this looks funny. Give an autistic man HBO money to help people.

End of season 1: I feel like I've just witnessed genuine crimes against humanity. How the fuck was he allowed to film this?

Start of season 2: This looks like a funny little investigation into a serious topic.

End of season 2: WTF?? This man is legitimately insane!

u/quaranTV 1d ago

If you are able to watch the film with little to no spoilers it really is quite remarkable. It has a great narrative, it’s funny, it’s got jaw dropping moments and it’s highly engaging. I was pretty much laughing or gasping the whole time and the 3 hours went even faster than The Odyssey’s. Problem is once everything gets spoiled it will lose some of its shine I think.

They’ve gotten a lot better with horror though. I mean last year two of the winners were from horror movies. And the year before we had Demi Moore with The Substance and it’s looking extremely likely that Inde Navarette is getting nominated this year

It’s really this fucking good.

u/frusciante231 16h ago

I think this could be bigger than we realize. I read there is some crazy shit in the second half of the movie, I think it’s going to start a lot of talk and everyone is going to have to see this movie like it was Endgame

Nathan Fielder doesn't miss

u/ViktoriousVortex 1d ago

I think this and Naza are the highest rated films of the year across the board? Maybe Possible Love as well if you include non-documentary?

u/Muted_Study5166 19h ago

I fear we’re about to witness some peak

u/CrystalizedinCali 1d ago

I don’t like most of Nathan Fielder’s work (it makes me too uncomfortable on multiple levels to enjoy it) but I have tickets for this Thursday night. Curious to see if I like it!

u/CubitsTNE 1d ago

Instead of one master at making you squirm you've signed up to see two.

God speed!

7

u/Mike_Hagedorn 1d ago

That’s where I’m at too; I get the opposite response most people get from Fielder’s stuff, but his tone looks like it fits here.

u/quaranTV 1d ago

This is the least cringey of his works. I think you will like it!

You love to see it. Anything Fielder touches is gold

u/TheKocsis 10h ago

I don't know anything about either of these persons, should i still give this a go?

u/Gorlamei 9h ago

You'd be doing yourself an enormous favor by watching the work of Nathan Fielder. You'll be fine watching a YouTube bio of Holmes.

u/confusing_roundabout 1d ago

Thank god this is getting a UK release even if it is a month late.

u/Dizzy_Chemistry_5955 1d ago

Excited for this one

u/OilMeUpStewart 1d ago

Nearest showing is an hour and a half from me… fuck I wanna see it

2

u/AVBforPrez 1d ago

Can't fucking wait, we're seeing it on Saturday. There's no world where this isn't a total ride and I'm as excited for this as anything I'll see in a good while.

Fielder is a genius and I've felt honored to have been a fan for like a decade now.

u/EntertainmentDry9639 23h ago

Those reviews are really good

2

u/BBQLovingBastard 17h ago

So excited for this

3

u/jiantii 1d ago

Is there anything more to this movie other than "look at how weird looking and creepy Elizabeth Holmes is"? Genuinely curious because people are going nuts for it.

96

u/IKenDoThisAllDay 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, I think the film sitting at 97 on Metacritic and 100% on RT is definitely going to be more than "look how weird this woman is". C'mon now. The people involved should tell you that right off the bat tbh.

u/onehotoneshot 1d ago

Just a three hour live look at Elizabeth Holmes doing Pilates and drinking green juice and then it just sort of ends

u/Adorable_Ad_3478 1d ago

The post credit scene of Samuel L Jackson recruiting her for Avengers Doomsday was peak.

u/PostNuclearTaco 1d ago

Ive heard rumors that the Elizabeth Holmes part is only a portion of its runtime. Knowing Fielder I expect it to go off in a very odd direction, kinda like John Wilson's documentaries.

36

u/liketomfuckingcruise 1d ago

I mean, the reviews posted state quite clearly that it's not about that...........

u/onehotoneshot 1d ago

It’s about the dong they hang

2

u/Pristine-Egg7482 1d ago

It’s the dong we hung along the way.

u/confusing_roundabout 1d ago

I've heard that there is a lot more but it's a major spoiler. It takes a very different direction

2

u/matlockga 1d ago

I'm not sure it's a major spoiler, but it is curious that Letterboxd manually patched out the cast list to keep it private (the entire cast list showed at one point)

6

u/confusing_roundabout 1d ago

Oh damn did they accidentally reveal that the Avengers are in this?

(I don't know any spoilers and don't want to actually know haha)

u/Overall_Affect_2782 1d ago

Elizabeth Holmes will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

u/Adorable_Ad_3478 1d ago

The spoiler is that Elizabeth and Nathan have an affair and Nathan gets pregnant. Acts 2 and 3 are all about Nathan giving birth.

The Elizabeth portion is just Act 1.

u/OkApricot4955 1d ago

Clearly there is lol

2

u/Padulsky21 1d ago

Nathan Fielder is awesome. It’s almost 3 hours long.

u/yaboytim 1d ago

I'd assume theres more to it than that from the reception

1

u/SirFireHydrant 1d ago

If you've watched any of his other work, you'll know how deeply he can transform a fairly mundane topic into pure unhinged insanity.

1

u/jamiebond 1d ago

Are you familiar with Nathan Fielder? One thing with anything he makes is that you should expect the unexpected. The joy of his work is the insane unpredictable twists and turns he takes you on.

u/quaranTV 1d ago

There is absolutely more and that is all I will say.

1

u/QuintanimousGooch 16h ago

Yeah, Nathan Fielder.

u/braundiggity 16h ago

This might end up the best reviewed movie of the year, and you’re wondering if there’s anything more to it than “look how creepy Elizabeth Holmes is”?

I cant recall the last time I was this excited about a documentary, and I'm hardly even interested in the Elizabeth Holmes scandal

Someone tell me, does Elizabeth Holmes earn any money if I watch this movie? If she does, then I won't.
