In his new documentary, Nathan Fielder convinces Elizabeth Holmes <\/a>to watch the Hulu series based on her life. It doesn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n

*WARNING: Spoilers ahead for You Can See Everything.*<\/p>\n

You Can See Everything follows disgraced Theranos founder Holmes<\/a>, her partner Billy Evans<\/a>, and their two young children in the weeks leading up to her prison stay. Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on four counts of fraud and conspiracy for lying about the capabilities of her biotech company\u2019s blood testing technology and conning investors out of millions of dollars. She was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.<\/a><\/p>\n

The documentary \u2014 filmed in secret over the course of three years and co-directed by Fielder and Primetime\u2019s Lance Oppenheim \u2014 landed in theaters Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Holmes revealed during the course of filming that she had never seen The Dropout<\/a>, Hulu\u2019s miniseries adaptation of the Theranos\u2019 founder\u2019s rise and fall. According to Hulu, the series explores \u201cwhat caused the world\u2019s youngest self-made female billionaire, once heralded as \u2018the next Steve Jobs,\u2019 to lose everything in the blink of an eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the series, Holmes is depicted by Amanda Seyfried<\/a>, who won an Emmy for her portrayal.<\/p>\n

Fielder convinces Holmes and Evans to watch it, setting up a laptop in the couple\u2019s bed and joining them for the screening. The documentary cuts between the miniseries and Holmes\u2019s emotionless face as she continues to watch.<\/p>\n

Eventually, after watching several scenes \u2014 including the infamous sequence in which Holmes yells<\/a> \u201cGet the f***ing money!\u201d at Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison (played by Hart Bochner) \u2014 Holmes starts to freak out and breaks down in tears. She lies back on the bed and asks Fielder to turn it off, which he does.<\/p>\n

The documentary then shows Evans consoling a crying Holmes, stroking her hair as the two lay in bed.<\/p>\n

Seyfried appears in the documentary to reenact several conversations Fielder had with Holmes but didn\u2019t or couldn\u2019t record.<\/p>\n

In one instance, where Seyfried and Fielder are visiting Evans after Holmes has surrendered herself to the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas<\/a>, Holmes and Seyfried briefly speak on the phone, marking their first conversation.<\/p>\n

Seyfried didn\u2019t speak to Holmes prior to portraying her in The Dropout. She said during a 2022 appearance on Good Morning America: \u201cBeing able to absorb the footage and mimic somebody and try to embody somebody that actually… there\u2019s a template out there, is very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seyfried concluded: \u201cI hate to say that because it\u2019s a real person with real consequences and a real life \u2013 and I wish her well \u2013 I just, as an actor, very specifically, it was thrilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Independent has contacted Holmes\u2019s lawyer and Evans for comment.<\/p>\n
