She is Elizabeth Holmes. Convicted fraudster responsible for Therenos which promised to sell miracle blood testing kits, but actually just got a lot of investor cash and conned a lot of people. Looking at this trailer, she still seems to believe her own crazy, but who knows.
He is Nathan Fielder, I guess you’d call him a filmmaker comedian? His schtick is that he’s basically able to put people in awkward situations in a way that is frankly hard to describe for me. The Rehearsal and Nathan For You are both very very unique and hilarious, but not for everyone.
The woman is Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos fraud.
The film tho
On September 6, 2026, You Can See Everything, an A24 documentary depicting Holmes in the weeks before she began her prison sentence, premiered in a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival.
Not really a movie, just some guy followed her around a bit before she went to prison. She isn’t inherently interesting, just I think people are fascinated by a twisted mind like this. Especially because the documentary/whatever apparently doesn’t paint her in a good light, and she still allowed it. Delusional from start to end.
Late reply. But yeah there are a thousand other tech bros who have done similar things. Taken in investments. lied about their product. even pushed out products to consumers that are potentially dangerous.
I think she got so much attention because 1. She’s a woman. And honestly there aren’t that many women con artist in the tech industry. There are some. But it’s mostly guys.
And 2. She’s an attractive woman. (I didn’t say she’s a super model but she is objectively above average). So makes for good click bait. She looks good on camera.
People love to hate on good looking people who have fallen. Makes “us” all feel better about our shitty place when we see other people with privilege also fail.
Honestly still not sure why there is a movie about her that so heavily features her in it.
Almost comes off as paid for publicity. For sympathy.
There was some other documentary about her a few years ago. Which is when I learned about her. May have been on YouTube or Netflix. I can’t recall. But it’s out there.
Idk. Should she go to prison. Yes.
But she’s also one of many that should be in prison for fraud. Yet the system seems to always want to make an example out of the women to give the impression that they are impartial. When their male counterparts do no time.
Another example. Martha Stewart. Did she break the law. Yes. Should she do the time? Yes. At the same time, many of Trump’s illegal activities were being reviewed in courts. He never did time even though his were much worse.
Anyway. I don’t care to watch any sympathy documentary for criminals.
She’s also really representative of the tech world of the late 10s on. SBF was juicer in drama, but Holmes is wild in what she managed to get away with and how long it took before anyone noticed it wasn’t physically possible to do what she claimed
To anyone wanting a teaser at the upcoming documentary:

I have no idea who those people are and the trailer doesn’t help me the slightest bit to know what’s going on.
Hah yeah it really doesn’t, does it‽

I am unreasonably excited for this movie.

The what?
Just kidding, I just looked it up myself. She started a company with a product that didn’t exist… that’s all?
The whole story reads a bit underwhelming. But I guess it was a big deal if there is now a movie about it.

Surprised you’d never heard of Theranos before though. ColdFusion did a great short doco on it.

People here missing that Nathan’s mind is probably just as twisted, but in a different way.
This movie is going to be a trip.
Stop what you’re doing right now and watch Nathan For You.
Then watch everything else Nathan Fielder has done since. Bonafide genius and hilarious
That is unnerving
With no context it would be a horror movie trailer.
