If those reviews aren\u2019t enough to persuade you to want to march to a cinema immediately to see You Can See Everything, one critic who has already seen Fielder and director Lance Oppenheim\u2019s film about the convicted and jailed Silicon Valley fraudster says they\u2019ll be thinking about what happens in the movie for \u201cthe rest of my life\u201d.<\/p>\n
Fielder’s movie \u2013 his first for studio A24 \u2013 has sparked a frenzy since its no-phones debut at the Telluride Film Festival in early September. The hype hasn’t calmed. Ahead of a screening at the New York Film Festival last week, the New York Times called it \u201cthe hottest ticket” in town and reported<\/a> one fan hired a professional line-sitter in an attempt to secure a seat.<\/p>\n Will New Zealand film fanatics get that chance? It seems unlikely. You Can See Everything\u2019s official launch date is October 16, but as of right now no local theatrical release plans exist for the movie, a film distributor confirmed to The Spinoff. <\/p>\n Worse, the country’s biggest theatre chain won’t pick it up. \u201cEvent Cinemas NZ is not planning to screen You Can See Everything,\u201d says a spokesperson.<\/p>\n The Spinoff scoured listings for independent theatres and cinema chains nationwide. Silky Otter doesn\u2019t have it, the usually reliable Capitol Cinema and The Hollywood came up empty, as did all others around the country. \u201cThere is no screening information for this title,\u201d reports the reliable local film site Flicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s a huge disappointment for Nath Heads, the term used to describe fans of Fielder\u2019s gonzo story-telling methods and the TV shows Nathan For You and The Rehearsal. His new film has a stunt at its core too: Fielder moves in with Holmes, her fianc\u00e9 Billy Evans and their two children in the month before her incarceration.<\/p>\n Local fans spoken to by The Spinoff expressed outrage. \u201cDisgusting. Despicable,\u201d says one. \u201cThis better be some sort of Nathan For You-style marketing stunt,\u201d says another. A third irked fan suggests it may inspire a resurgence in an outdated method of online crime: \u201cA24 literally encouraging piracy.\u201d (The Spinoff does not approve.)<\/p>\n Holmes\u2019 crimes with the blood-testing start-up Theranos are well-documented in the John Carreyrou book Bad Blood, Alex Gibney\u2019s 2019 documentary The Inventor: Out For Blood in Silicon Valley, and The Dropout, the Disney+ TV show starring a deep-voiced, turtleneck-wearing Amanda Seyfried as Holmes.<\/p>\n According to critics, it’s the chance to see Holmes go head-to-head with Fielder that makes You Can See Everything what it is. It is a “stupefying and gloriously destabilizing hall of psychological mirrors, a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime collision of director and subject,” says The Guardian<\/a>. <\/p>\n Reviews like that put local fans in a bind. Fielder’s film contains many twists, according to those critics, and they’ve been told not to spoil them. Some of those critics have told fans not to seek spoilers out: \u201cI implore you to know as little as possible about this film before seeing it\u201d.<\/p>\n![\"Nathan](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01a1093b-0604-7424-9dc3-b992bf7e9a46.webp\")
