\n\t[Spoilers galore! But come on, you want them.]<\/em>
<\/strong>
You\u2019ve gone out and watched You Can See Everything<\/em>, joining the nearly 2 million people this weekend who drank in the Nathan Fielder\u2013Lance Oppenheim investigation into the mad psyche of Elizabeth Holmes. You gasped in the theater, you turned to a friend or new friend unable to believe what you just saw, you found yourself still marveling at the moments in the parking lot and restaurant, you texted your other friends both annoyed and superior they haven\u2019t seen it yet. Go pick up your phone right now, another friend has just written back \u201cyeah, I need to see it\u201d while you shake your head at their deprivatory laziness.<\/p>\n

But even after all that discussing, all that plumbing, you still have questions about what \u201cFieldenheim\u201d have created. We all have questions. Heck, Fielder himself still has questions. \u201cI am still struggling to this day to understand what I went through,\u201d the filmmaker told an New York Film Festival audience last month and said he and Oppenheim disagreed over nearly everything that was happ<\/a>ening between Holmes and her husband Billy Evans.<\/p>\n

But there are some verifiable facts, no matter how Holmes and Evans have an, er, postmodern take on the truth. Here are six key points you\u2019re likely curious about, unpacked to sate your twitchy curiosity.<\/p>\n

\n\tA24 Pack of Executives<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how did this thing even happen? How was Holmes convinced to do it? Here\u2019s how it went down\u2026it actually began with A24.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company met with Holmes after she called them<\/em> looking for exposure (lest you think she was just minding her own business when Hollywood came along. Hey, at least she has taste). \u201cIt was to have people see who she is,\u201d Evans recently said. But the parties couldn\u2019t come to an agreement, and the project seemed dead.<\/p>\n

Then some weirdness (kismet? No, weirdness.) Fieldenheim were \u2014 wait for it \u2014 at the Magic Castle together when Oppenheim was visiting LA from NYC. During an improv bit someone from the audience called out Holmes\u2019 name. \u201cHey, that reminds me, I heard A24 is mulling a Holmes movie!,\u201d Oppenheim said to Fielder when the show ended. Shortly after, Fielder placed a call to A24 offices in NY, and the pair were on the case. Or, at least, on some weirdness they thought could probably never be a movie.<\/p>\n

So who are the two A24 execs who met with filmmakers and Holmes-Evans, as the movie reconstructs? The studio isn\u2019t saying, but one thing that is worth knowing: the person who ran docs for the studio and helped guide the project earlier on is\u2026no longer there. Yes, she was not at the company to see everything. That would be Emily Osborne, laid off last year as A24 shelved its doc division. She\u2019s still an executive producer on the film though; the legacy runs deep.<\/p>\n

By the way, like all good wannabe lawyers, you may have watched the whole handwring about whether the Holmes-Evans unit could get paid and thought: isn\u2019t there a law against that \u2014 against a convicted criminal profiting from their crime? There is. Or there was \u2014 the Son of Sam Law. But California struck it down<\/a> a number of years back, so had Evans and Holmes opted for payment, it likely would have been fine even for Holmes to get paid directly. The money could have funded more blood-testing machines!<\/p>\n

Does the Alleged Rape Incident Explain Everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt comes and goes so fast you have to lean in to make sure you heard it. Did Holmes\u2019 father say, unequivocally, that everything changed for his daughter when she was raped? It seems like that kind of trauma could indeed make someone dramatically pull back, hide behind a false persona so thick even they\u2019ve lost track of what\u2019s underneath<\/p>\n

So is Holmes a rape victim? Yes, she has alleged she is \u2014 and that it changed everything. Back at her trial in 2022 she spoke tearfully about an incident when she was at Stanford in the fall of 2003, at 19.
The alleged incident, she said, sent her on a work-constantly, my-startup-must-succeed-at-all-costs path (she founded Theranos and dropped out of college later that academic year).<\/p>\n

What do public records say about the event? The Santa Clara County sheriff\u2019s office had gotten a call late one October night that a student named Elizabeth Holmes was reporting an on-campus sexual assault, at a frat house. Deputies were dispatched, according to a document<\/a> NPR obtained as part of a California Public Records request. We don\u2019t know where the investigation went from there.<\/p>\n

Holmes also alleged that Sunny Balwani \u2014 her former boyfriend and Theranos COO who was convicted of fraud <\/a>and is currently incarcerated too \u2014 sexually abused her. Balwani has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

Those details certainly contextualize Holmes\u2019 behavior; whether they excuse it is up to you. But no such context exists for Billy. Which brings us to\u2026<\/p>\n

Who the Hell is Billy Evans and Is He an AI Who Came Into Existence with a \u201cDesign Me an Evil Trust Fund-Bro Stereotype\u201d Prompt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. Maybe. Probably not. We don\u2019t know in great detail what Evans\u2019 source of wealth is in the film \u2014 just that he has one, and this makes him uber-credible because he doesn\u2019t need anything from Holmes. (\u201cWhat does she have to gain from me?\u201d as he says in the film.) Or so he\u2019d like us to believe, like Larry David and his whole unattractive-spouse bit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course rather than making us think \u201coh, he\u2019s privileged, he wasn\u2019t after Holmes for the money,\u201d what we really think is \u201coh, he\u2019s so privileged, he thinks he can get instant fame by leveraging his notorious wife and then yelling at people who don\u2019t sign up for the ride.\u201d (Evans\u2019 recent appearance <\/a>with the low-key folks on the All-In<\/em> podcast \u2014 having quite a film year by the way after their cameo cringily yukking it up upon the death of Twitter<\/a> in Musk<\/em> \u2014 doesn\u2019t exactly boost his credibility.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s something to know about Evans: the Evans Hotel Group that his grandparents founded some 70+ years ago (The Lodge Terry Pines, the Bahia Resort Hotel, and the Catamaran Resort are its three properties) has gotten into plenty of hot water with local groups in Southern California. Citizens\u2019 orgs said an expansion of the Bahia, for instance, took away access<\/a> to the public Mission Bay. Which gives Evans and Holmes frolicking on an endless expanse of beach at their Del Mar rental an added pungency. The family also sued some unions in San Diego because they didn\u2019t like how said unions were trying to stop the expansion. The suit was dismissed.<\/a><\/p>\n

But hey, Evans is in biotech now. Yes, the new blood-testing company talked about in the 2023 section of the film was indeed founded the next year. It\u2019s called Haemanthus \u2014 like Theranos, but with extra Haman \u2014 and Evans is the CEO. The company actually is working with a legit technique known as Raman spectroscopy but only seem to have one patent<\/a>. Blood-testing from the people who brought you and\/or defended Theranos, what could go wrong?<\/p>\n

\n\tAmanda, I\u2019m Going to Take You By Surprise and Make You Realize<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know that scene where we first see Seyfried, when she\u2019s sitting there on the couch watching the Holmes footage at the start of the third act and you almost blink in disbelief? \u201cWait\u2026who\u2026could it\u2026is it?\u201d Well, that happened in real time \u2014 that\u2019s the first meeting she and Fielder actually had. In fact so realtime there were no plans to have Seyfried come in and play Holmes in those reconstructions we later see. Fieldenheim just wanted her to react to what happened and maybe provide some talking-head clarity on the arguments they were having. Little did even they know what it would become \u2014 a rehearsal for the eventual Rehearsal.<\/p>\n

N.B. That farm Fielder visits Seyfried where the animals are fed (and fart). That\u2019s an animal rescue that the actress and Thomas Sadoski founded and live in<\/a> in upstate New York with their two kids. It\u2019s a pretty rad place \u2014 a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on which they\u2019ve saved and housed elderly or endangered ducks, goats, donkeys, cats, chickens and horses, funding the place themselves. They thus don\u2019t take donations, but Seyfried has done work for at least one animal-rights group that is public facing, the anti-kill shelter Best Friends Society<\/a>. If you donate money, we imagine you\u2019d actually save a living being, unlike whatever time you\u2019re not saving using a Theranos device.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Seyfried and Sadoski announced a split after that footage was shot. Hopefully she got to heal there too.<\/p>\n

Eggscellent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides some pretty chill movies<\/a>, A24 excels at spinning off memes. Hereditary<\/em> memes<\/a>, Uncut Gems<\/em> memes<\/a>, memes contrasting its movies<\/a> with Costco hot dogs. The company thought \u2014 we all thought \u2014 they had a good one with that close-up two-shot of Fielder and Holmes on the couch. It had already been repurposed so many times.<\/a><\/p>\n

But when the final history of our era is written and the one true artifact remains, that artifact will, of course, be a meme of the egg scene. So banal; so revealing. There is no one way to whisk eggs. But Evans thinks there is, and he is about to joystick Holmes into doing it that way.<\/p>\n

The SNL <\/em>sketches are coming; so are the Oscar bits. An omelet station will never be the same again. <\/p>\n

Like, why would we deceive you?<\/p>\n

Bryan Prison Blues?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federal Prison Camp Bryan, where Holmes is being held, already comes off as a mysterious place in the film, doesn\u2019t it? (We still have vending-machine questions.) But you don\u2019t know the half of it. The place has incarcerated a true motley crew of inmates \u2014 Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell is currently there, former Real Housewife<\/em> star Jen Shah just got out<\/em> of there in August, and Jenna Ryan, the Texas realtor and convicted Jan. 6 rioter who\u2019s had some seriously wild <\/a>things to say as she tried to become a right-wing influencer, was released from there last winter. When\u2019s the doc of that<\/em> place?<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s prison is a very low-security facility (one reason Maxwell\u2019s transfer there as a sex offender provoked outrage) and general<\/a>ly holds people with sentences shorter than five years. The facility, about 100 miles outside Houston, has fewer staff than other federal facilities because the inmates are not generally considered violent risks. Family and anyone else approved by the inmate can visit every Saturday and\/or Sunday. The prison sits in a residential neighborhood of craftsman-esque homes and singing mockingbirds, and the grounds have even been reported by neighbors as almost seeming like a park<\/a>. (You may have gotten that vibe from the last scene.)<\/p>\n

Holmes, per her sentence, shouldn\u2019t be out until 2034. But a judge ruled <\/a>earlier this year that because she didn\u2019t cause \u201csubstantial financial hardship\u201d to victims she can get out some four years early, in 2030. Meanwhile a Theranos investor who was defrauded by Holmes says he was alerted by the Justice Department that, likely because of good behavior, Holmes is actually headed for a halfway house in Austin this very summer \u2014 giving her and Fieldenheim just enough time to plan a sequel for 2028.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
