Increasingly, I’m convinced the most unsettling films are the ones in which nothing supernatural happens at all. Case in point: A24’s You Can See Everything, a new Elizabeth Holmes documentary by Nathan Fielder that has materialised, quite literally, out of nowhere.
Judging by the first trailer, which dropped as part of the film's surprise billing at Telluride Film Festival, it looks considerably more unnerving than most of the year’s actual horror releases (and that's no small feat in a year that has already given us box-office phenomena like Obsession and Backrooms).
If you've found yourself as intrigued as we have, here's everything we've dug up about You Can See Everything — and where you can watch it for yourself.
When and where to watch it
You Can See Everything will get a full cinematic release in Australia and New Zealand from 12 November 2026.

Will it be available to stream?
Yes, most likely – just not straight away. No official streaming date has been announced yet, but A24 films typically arrive on streaming around four months after their cinema release. Based on that timeline, we’d expect it to be available to stream around January 2027, most likely on HBO Max, as this is primarily where A24 films stream.
What's it about?
The premise alone of You Can See Everything is pretty surreal. Thirty-four days before Holmes is due to report to prison, the disgraced Theranos founder invites filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim – the latter also behind A24’s latest film, Primetime, based on the life of Chris Hansen – into her life to document her final weeks of freedom. And then, they just… keep filming. For three more years.
It begins as a portrait of one of Silicon Valley’s most infamous figures, but appears to mutate into something much more bizarre. Even across the trailer’s brief minute-long clip, there is the distinct sense that the filmmakers have wandered into territory far more psychologically complicated than the documentary they initially set out to make. The official synopsis calls it a “mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss” – an ominous description for a film that was kept entirely under wraps for years before emerging with a surprise premiere at the Telluride Film Festival this month.
Why is it so terrifying?
Because you never quite know what is real with Holmes. The now-viral trailer released this week as part of it's premiere at Telluride Film Festival centres on an ultra-close-up conversation between Holmes and Fielder, where Holmes insists she isn't deceiving anyone. Fielder asks whether she is “being real”. Holmes replies: “I’m always being real.” Then the camera pulls back and reveals she has been rocking her baby throughout the conversation.
There's something deeply uncomfortable – and very Nathan Fielder – about the clip. Fielder's work has always been fascinated with performance, authenticity and what happens when the fourth wall collapses. Now pair that sensibility with Holmes – a woman whose public persona has been analysed almost as intensely as her crimes. It's certainly fertile ground for a brilliant conversation on artificiality and humanity. Consider us sat.
What's the real story of Elizabeth Holmes?
For those unfamiliar with her name, Holmes founded Theranos after dropping out of Stanford and became one of Silicon Valley’s biggest stars, promising technology that could perform numerous medical tests using tiny amounts of blood.
At its peak, Theranos was valued at around $9 billion and Holmes was celebrated as the youngest self-made female billionaire in America. She raised $945 million from investors including Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison. That was, before it all unravelled. The technology did not work as promised, and Theranos collapsed. Holmes was ultimately convicted on four counts of fraud and conspiracy. She was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison and reported to a federal facility in May 2023.
