The subject of the documentary is Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of … Did you say documentary? No thanks. But reviews of this particular documentary have been overwhelmingly favourable! I don’t go to the cinema to learn things. Critics have been unstinting in their praise for Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s unflinching three-hour examination of the Theranos scandal’s architect and … Three hours? Are you kidding? I know that seems long, but the Guardian’s critic called it “a stupefying and gloriously destabilising hall of psychological mirrors, a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime collision of director and subject”.
