The American documentary "You Can See Everything" (2026), directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, has been showing in Latvian cinemas since 13 November. The film is about Elizabeth Holmes, a US entrepreneur whose health technology start-up Theranos turned out to be a fraud and who was sentenced to prison for it. Its budget was $7 million, while ticket sales have reached $80 million.
What the film is about
Holmes founded Theranos, promising to change healthcare with tests based on a few drops of blood. In 2014 the company was valued at $9 billion and employed more than 800 people, while Holmes was described as the youngest self-made billionaire in the US. The fraud came to light after an investigation by John Carreyrou of The Wall Street Journal. Holmes received a sentence of a little over 11 years in prison, and together with former Theranos president Ramesh Balwani she must repay investors almost half a billion dollars. Holmes has sent a clemency request to US President Donald Trump.
The filmmakers recorded material 34 days before Holmes entered prison, when she and her partner Billy Evans opened their home to the documentary makers. Actress Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes in the series "The Dropout" (2022), appears in the film again.
Ratings and reception
The film holds the highest rating in the history of the film-rating site Letterboxd and a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It had a secret premiere on 6 September at the Telluride Film Festival in the US, followed by screenings at the New York and Stockholm festivals. In Latvia it has been praised by film producer Uldis Cekulis, director Uģis Olte and film content creator Dace Buša.
In Latvia the film is shown by Forum Cinemas, Apollo Kino, Splendid Palace and Kino Bize in Riga, Cinamon Balle in Liepāja, Kino Rio in Ventspils and the Cēsis cinema hall.
