Nathan Fielder’s three-hour Elizabeth Holmes film has become a pop culture phenomenon but at a sold-out Times Square screening, no one was quite sure what to think In You Can See Everything, it’s Elizabeth Holmes’s partner who makes for 2026’s timeliest villain Secrets, lies and a shock A-list cameo: how You Can See Everything became the film of the year When I see a film a second time during its theatrical run, it’s typically to take someone else who hasn’t yet seen it, at least in part hoping to witness their reaction to a piece of art that excited or moved me in some way.
