A WIRED exclusive interview with the comic auteur, as his first feature film hits theaters. Photograph by Keith Oshiro for WIREDA few months ago, Nathan Fielder’s publicist sent me an unexpected email: Would WIRED be interested in Fielder for a fall cover of our magazine? The answer, before we even got a reason, was yes. The reason, it turned out, was that Fielder would soon release a project that was so top-secret, I’d need to sign an NDA to even hear about what it was—let alone watch it. I signed, I heard, and then I saw, counting myself among the few dozen people who’d screened You Can See Everything before the film debuted in the first days of September as a secret addition to the Telluride Film Festival.

The Elizabeth Holmes film, ‘You Can See Everything,’ might be the movie of the year Nathan Fielder’s documentary, which he co-directed with Lance Oppenheim, is an absurdly intimate and confounding portrait of the tech fraudster.

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of blood-testing startup Theranos, is the subject of a new documentary from comedian Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim. You Can See Everything is in theaters now after being made largely in secret over nearly four years. The movie has already won widespread acclaim, with some critics calling it one of the year's best movies. It is also a box office hit. The film took in about $15 million from 855 theaters in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates reported Sunday by Variety. That is the second-best opening for a non-music documentary, behind "Fahrenheit 9/11" in 2004. The movie expands nationwide Oct. 23. Holmes founded Theranos at 19 and became a celebrated Silicon Valley entrepreneur by claiming the company had developed technology capable of performing a wide range of medical tests using a small amount of blood. But the technology did not live up to her claims, and in 2022, Holmes was convicted of defrauding Theranos investors. She is serving a federal prison sentence.
