Elizabeth Holmes documentary sparks viral debate and biotech interest

The upcoming A24 documentaryYou Can See Everything’, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, has generated significant buzz following its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival. The film provides an intimate look at convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, filmed secretly over four years, including footage captured just weeks before her incarceration in 2023.

A trailer for the film has gone viral, sparking intense discussion regarding Holmes’ body language. Expert Susan Constantine described her unblinking gaze and performative facial expressions as “psychopathic” and “almost not human,” noting clusters of deception in her interactions with Fielder.

Beyond the film's critical acclaim and potential Oscar buzz, reports indicate that Holmes remains involved in biotechnology research while serving her sentence. Her partner, Billy Evans, is reportedly leading Haemanthus, a health-tech startup that has raised approximately $18 million. While Holmes holds no official position, she has reportedly advised on the venture from prison, drawing criticism from industry insiders.
