TL;DR

A24 revealed its long-rumored secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival as 'You Can See Everything,' a documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim about convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes. The film, which runs over two hours, premiered with strict security measures and will receive a theatrical release in October.

Key points

  • The mystery Telluride screening was confirmed as 'You Can See Everything,' a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes.
  • The film is directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and distributed by A24.
  • The documentary runs for over two hours and premiered at the Herzog Theatre with a Q&A session.
  • Attendees were required to lock all electronic devices in Yondr bags before entry.
  • The film is scheduled for a theatrical release in October 2026.

Background

Rumors of a secret A24 screening at Telluride circulated for weeks, with industry insiders speculating about a hybrid documentary project. Previous coverage noted that the film was acquired in a competitive bidding situation and described as a near-three-hour hybrid piece. This follows earlier Telluride premieres of high-profile titles like 'Elsinore' and 'Tender Loving Care' during the 2026 festival.

How outlets are covering it

IndieWire and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the film's identity and emphasized the strict security protocols, including the confiscation of phones and smartwatches, to prevent leaks. Variety highlighted the release of a teaser trailer featuring a tense exchange between Fielder and Holmes, noting the film's 'weird' tone. Deadline initially reported the screening as a guessing game, noting the film's hybrid nature and long runtime, before confirming the Holmes connection. All outlets agree on the October release window and the involvement of A24, but vary in emphasis: IndieWire focuses on the security and the 'abyss' of the narrative, while Variety focuses on the trailer's dialogue and the directors' previous works.

Why it matters

The release of 'You Can See Everything' marks a significant moment for documentary filmmaking, combining the comedic sensibility of Nathan Fielder with the serious investigative style of Lance Oppenheim. It offers a new perspective on the Theranos scandal, moving beyond the dramatized 'The Dropout' and the 2019 documentary 'The Inventor' to present a direct, three-year interaction with Holmes in prison. The strict security measures indicate the high value and sensitivity of the content, suggesting it may become a major cultural and awards-season contender.

What to watch

The film will be released in theaters in October 2026. A teaser trailer has been released, and the premiere was followed by a Q&A session at Telluride. The industry will likely watch for critical reception and potential awards recognition, given the film's high-profile directors and subject matter.
