You Can See Everything sparks John Oliver roast of Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans

On Sunday night’s Last Week Tonight, John Oliver couldn’t resist a detour into You Can See Everything, the new Nathan Fielder–Lance Oppenheim documentary that puts Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans on camera for nearly three hours. He framed it as the gold standard for brazen evasiveness, using the film as a punchline — and a measuring stick — for shameless question-dodging.

“I haven't seen someone dodge a question that shamelessly since I spent three hours gasping aloud at two complete lunatics who've never blinked once in their lives,”

Oliver added that his staff has gotten so wrapped up in the movie that it’s been distracting the writers’ room, joking that if anyone wants to talk about it, they should call literally anyone who works on the show.

Inside the documentary

Fielder began filming 34 days before Holmes reported to federal prison in May 2023. Convicted in the Theranos fraud case and sentenced to more than 11 years, Holmes lets the cameras into domestic spaces and long, awkward conversations that double as attempts to prove authenticity. Evans, at one point, acknowledges posting from Holmes’ verified X account on her behalf.

• Directors: Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim
• Subjects: Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans
• Distributor: A24
• US theatrical release: October 16
• Runtime: nearly three hours

Midway through, the film jumps ahead two years. With Holmes incarcerated and absent from the frame, Fielder pivots into more experimental territory — playing with point of view and authorship to ask who controls the story when the central figure can’t be on camera.

The film made a surprise debut at Telluride in September before A24 rolled it out in theaters on October 16.
