“You Can See Everything!”
Every year, a film comes along and blows viewers away, becoming a pop culture phenomenon…this fall it is this documentary – which is now the #1 film in movie theaters every single day!
It’s the story of Elizabeth Holmes, who was charged with fraud when a company she built, Theranos, collapsed while she ran it.
This new documentary follows Holmes and her partner Billy Evans during the final 34 days before she surrendered to federal prison to serve her 11-year sentence for investor fraud.
Reporter Nathan Fielder moves in with the couple and their two small children and is given complete and total access to everything they do….it is fascinating!
Here is the trailer which sets up that concept but gives nothing else away:
The three hour documentary is directed by Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, who also appears on-camera as he moves in with the family…
THAT’S IT! NO MORE!
DO NOT READ anything else online. Experience it fresh for maximum enjoyment.
I say this because it is the kind of movie that plays best when you absorb it in real time…the packed theater I saw it with laughed, gasped and applauded at the end – and then began an intense conversation in small groups about what they had just experienced…it just might be the best film of 2026.
Holmes’ story has been told twice before: the acclaimed documentary “The Inventor” delved deeply into the controversy around her technology, a machine that she promised could scan a single drop of blood for dozens of illnesses.
She was convicted of fraud and is currently in prison.
Her story was then made into a fictional mini-series based on her case….both are great, but if you haven’t watched either, watch “You Can See Everything ” first!
Nathan Fielder has a number of acclaimed shows on HBO, and Oppenheim directed this movie this year as well:
“Primetime” is the story of “To Catch A Predator” and Host Chris Hansen, and this film is also on my “best of 2026” list!
I love documentaries that take an in-depth look at topics I find fascinating…here are a few of my favorites:
The Holy Grail Of Graft!
“Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened” is the jaw-dropping story of Fyre Festival – this is a must watch, with some of the most outrageously funny and shocking stories I’ve ever seen in a documentary!
See the trailer and more about the music disaster here:
You all know I love burgers, right?
So of course this wild documentary was for me!
This is the true story of a guy who rigged a McDonald’s game and almost got away with it!

I told you I love burgers and I love fish sandwiches, so I took these two iconic McDonald’s products…
…and made my own unique meal!

I hadn’t heard about this documentary, John, but I’m happy to take your word for how good it is. Though I doubt it will be shown here for at least a couple of years on any mainstream TV channel, and I don’t have access to most streaming services. Shared on Twitter.
Best wishes, Pete.
