Running almost three hours long, Co-Director Nathan Fielder (<em>Nathan For You<\/em>, <em>The Rehearsal<\/em>) is as much a character in the film as his subject \u2014 and he performs his role superlatively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Throughout, Holmes and her fianc\u00e9, Billy Evans, maintain that she never lied to investors (or anyone else) and that she still doesn\u2019t know where things went so wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite its length and extraordinary access, the film clarifies absolutely nothing. Instead, the viewer walks away even more uncertain of everything they thought they knew about Holmes, Theranos, and the nature of truth. Here are a few questions I walked away with:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Is Billy Evans Controlling or Just Protective?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Evans, entrepreneur and hotel heir, is definitely an unexpected star of this movie. Depending on which act of the film you\u2019re in and who you ask, he might be a hero or the controlling, unhinged villain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From the outset, Evans often interrupts interactions between Fielder and Holmes, cutting in just before Fielder can ask Holmes the truly revealing questions. He even does it when Fielder is speaking to Holmes\u2019 dad. We also learn that, while Holmes is in prison, he controls all of her social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Evans tells Fielder that he\u2019s afraid for the safety of himself and his kids, so he carries a firearm on him at all times. Fielder asks incredulously, \u201cYou have a gun on you right now?\u201d This provoked a knowing guffaw from the blue-state audience in my theater, as though this is further evidence that Evans is paranoid and unstable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet to different audiences, this exchange wouldn\u2019t even raise an eyebrow. It would seem like the totally reasonable action of a man trying to protect his family. Are these the behaviors of a controlling, paranoid man who\u2019s using Holmes for his own purposes? Or is it the protectiveness of a man who truly loves his family and is doing what he believes is best for all of them?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As with everything else in this film, it depends on the eye of the beholder.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. What About Ian Gibbons?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many people have downplayed the effects of the Theranos fraud given that the primary victims were uber-wealthy men who, despite their losses, remain wealthy. But it\u2019s important to remember two other groups of victims: the numerous patients who had huge health scares and costly hospitalizations because of Theranos\u2019 inaccurate testing, and Theranos\u2019 own employees, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/theranos-scientist-widow-elizabeth-holmes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biochemist Ian Gibbons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Gibbons was supposed to be deposed in a lawsuit over Theranos and its patents. As he saw it, he had two options: Either tell the truth that Holmes had nothing to do with developing Theranos\u2019 patents and then be sued by the company for violating his nondisclosure agreement, or lie on Theranos\u2019 behalf and perjure himself. The stress of this and his diminished role at Theranos drove him to drink heavily and, tragically, to take his own life.<\/p>\n<p>No one has ever tried to hold Holmes legally liable for Gibbons\u2019 death. But her behavior, litigiousness, and the cutthroat environment she fostered at her company helped create Gibbons\u2019 catch-22.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbons ultimately made his own decisions \u2014 but, as the seemingly empathetic woman we see in this film, does Holmes ever think about him? Does she wish things had gone differently? I wish Fielder had asked.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. What\u2019s with the Cross Necklace?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In several scenes, Holmes wears a small silver cross necklace. It\u2019s never mentioned, but given the nature of the film, it\u2019s hard not to wonder what, if anything, that necklace means to her.<\/p>\n<p>Was it just a gift? Maybe a comforting totem with no real religious thought behind it? At one point in the film, Evans mentions his admiration for Charlie Kirk. Is it possible he or both of them have been influenced by Kirk\u2019s Christianity? We simply don\u2019t know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We do know Holmes is adamant throughout the film that she\u2019s done nothing wrong. So what does she make of a symbol that stands for both the weight of sin and its need to be repaid? It\u2019s just one more fascinating question mark in a movie full of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. What Happened to Her Dog?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s seen Hulu\u2019s <em>The Dropout<\/em> will remember that, as Theranos collapsed in 2017, Holmes got a husky, presumably as a coping mechanism to distract from her grim new reality. She confirms in this film that she really did get a Siberian husky puppy around that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet that is not the dog we see in <em>You Can See Everything<\/em>, which began filming in 2023. That would have made the dog around 6 years old at the time of filming. Huskies have an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years. So what happened to it? Where is the dog now?<\/p>\n<p>There may be some totally innocent explanation, but Holmes and Evans gave Fielder such unrestricted access to their lives because they thought people didn\u2019t know \u201cthe real Liz.\u201d They are asking us to see Holmes as a gentle, sympathetic character. So how did \u201cthe real Liz\u201d treat this puppy she once loved? The animal-lover in me needs to know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. What\u2019s the Meaning Behind Her Daughter\u2019s Name?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the movie, Holmes and Evans refer to their baby daughter as \u201cIvy.\u201d Her full name is actually \u201cInvicta,\u201d which is Latin for \u201cundefeated\u201d or \u201cunconquered.\u201d Celebrities giving their kids odd names is nothing new, but one has to wonder what inspired such a unique name. Could it be a nod to the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poems\/51642\/invictus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">William Ernest Henley<\/a> poem? Yet another declaration of Holmes\u2019 innocence? We can only hazard a guess.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Did We Become Holmes\u2019 Newest Victims?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who previously watched or read anything about Theranos or Holmes has certainly thought, \u201cHow did no one see through her?\u201d The investors, the employees, and the media should have caught on to her lies. Surely <em>we<\/em> would have.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one clear takeaway from this movie, it\u2019s that we, also, would have failed the \u201cwe should have seen through her\u201d test. She would have charmed us too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I now understand what Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz said: \u201cYou want it to be true so badly. \u2026 When I think back on those conversations [with Holmes], I just think, \u2018How did she do that?\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Fielder said he\u2019s looking forward to other people seeing the film so the audience \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/nathan-fielder-still-not-sure-what-i-experienced-filming-elizabeth-holmes-doc-12178449\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can help me understand what I went through a little bit<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If only we knew.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>   Caroline D&#8217;Agati is a writer, former park ranger, and New Jersey expatriate living in DC.
