The Elizabeth Holmes documentary just got a new trailer, and it leans into the project’s oddest fact: Elizabeth Holmes says, “I don’t have anything to deceive you on,” while the film follows her into prison. A24’s You Can See Everything now has an Oct. 16 release date and a 174-minute runtime, a length that signals the movie is built as a full-scale chronicle rather than a quick recap.
Thirty-four days before she was sent to prison, Holmes invited a skeptical film crew to document her every move. That setup gives Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim a built-in timeline: the last month of freedom, the first few weeks of imprisonment, and a three-year journey that stretches well beyond the initial access point.
174 minutes at Telluride
The film premiered to a full crowd at the Telluride Film Festival before the trailer arrived, which is where the industry-first reaction began to harden into a sales pitch. A long runtime on a documentary like this is not padding; it usually means the filmmakers are leaving in the awkward pauses, reversals, and repetitions that shorter cuts trim away.
Owen Gleiberman called the film “a one-of-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus” and said it was made with “a spirit of true inquiry.” Clayton Davis said it “keeps escalating in strangeness across its three-year span” and “lands a final movement that had Telluride’s most seasoned attendees walking out shell-shocked.”
Holmes on camera
The teaser also shows Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes staring intensely into each other’s eyes, then lets Holmes double down: “Of course I’m not deceiving you. I’m engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? There’s no reason for me to do that.” The line lands because the film’s own framing identifies her as a fraudster, so the trailer is selling not just access but contradiction.
That contradiction is the draw for viewers who already know the Theranos story. The documentary is not simply revisiting Silicon Valley scandal history; it is turning the camera on the person at the center of it while asking audiences to sit through the uncomfortable gap between what she says and what the project itself says about her.
Oct. 16 release
Oct. 16 is the date that matters now. With the trailer out, the festival response already recorded, and the running time set at 174 minutes, A24 is positioning You Can See Everything as a serious awards-season title and not a fast-turn curiosity.
For viewers, the practical choice is simple: if you want the long version of the Holmes story, this is the one to watch. The movie’s value is not in repeating the scandal, but in showing how much stranger it gets when Holmes stays on camera long enough to keep talking.
