| New Doc on Future Austinite Elizabeth Holmes Is the Wildest Thing You’ll Watch All Year | “You Can See Everything” is a new documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that follows disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes in the days before she reports to prison in Bryan, Texas for defrauding her investors. Tickets to the movie have been mostly sold out in Austin, but if you manage to get tickets like I did, you’re in for a wild ride. | - The only, and tiniest spoiler I’ll share: The documentary has Austin ties — you’ll recognize a skyline, a famous bar, and perhaps a road or two. That’s it! I will not be revealing any other spoiler-y details about the film in this write up. You just had to know our city is highlighted in the film.
- Why you should care: I’m not being hyperbolic when I say “You Can See Everything” will leave you speechless, which makes for a great viewing experience if you ask me. I came home from the movie and couldn’t come up with a thought other than “That was insane.” The documentary also seems to be what everyone is talking about and it’s so fun when we can all get in on a piece of art together!
- Tips for your screening: I have two tips for you before you head to the theater. Avoid spoilers at all costs. I love a good spoiler, too, but what takes place in the doc is best saved for the theater. Second, you need to stay dehydrated. The movie is nearly three hours long and you don’t want to miss a single moment. Go to the bathroom and nix the large soda!
- Holmes moves close to Austin next year. Holmes, who was found guilty of telling investors her blood-testing machine worked when it did not, is scheduled to move into Austin Transitional Center, a halfway house in Del Valle, in August. Holmes will be officially released in 2030 into an Austin residence. [ABC News]
