‘A cultural moment’: smash hit doc You Can See Everything continues to dazzle America

Nathan Fielder's three-hour documentary about Elizabeth Holmes has turned into a widespread cultural sensation, yet during a full-capacity screening in Times Square, audience members remained uncertain about their own impressions.

• In You Can See Everything, Elizabeth Holmes's associate emerges as the most relevant antagonist of 2026
• Deceptions, falsehoods, and an unexpected A-list appearance: what propelled You Can See Everything to become the year's standout film

Whenever I revisit a movie during its cinema release, it's usually to accompany someone who hasn't watched it yet, partly hoping to catch their response to a work that stirred or affected me. Experiencing Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything again on a Saturday evening in New York City amplified that urge. This film is drawing an unexpectedly large crowd, along with intense audience reactions; watching it once more in a packed 300-seat venue allowed me to relive that sensation of discovery. More importantly, almost everyone I knew had already seen it; my only option was to observe unfamiliar viewers.

This documentary, which delves into (and contributes to constructing) a complex web of illusions surrounding the notorious med-tech fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, has become autumn's box-office phenomenon, actually increasing by 25% in its second weekend to earn an additional $19.5m—an uncommon achievement even with a broader theater count. With over $45m in North America, it stands as one of A24's most successful releases; it might land among the company's top three and rank high on the list of best-grossing nonfiction films. If You Can See Everything isn't quite a Obsession-level revenue generator, it's perhaps even more astonishing that a three-hour documentary, announced only about eight weeks ago, is poised to surpass earnings from high-profile new releases like Practical Magic 2, Verity, and Street Fighter, among others. It has also outperformed co-director Oppenheim's fellow A24 surprise hit Primetime, which benefits from genuine movie star Robert Pattinson.
