• John Carreyrou, the investigative reporter who broke the Theranos scandal, criticizes some of Holmes’ claims in the film as lies, including her portrayal as neurodivergent and her aversion to the spotlight, citing her extensive public appearances.
• Disputes have arisen over a quote Holmes gave about the Hulu show “The Dropout,” with Holmes and her fiancé contesting the accuracy of the reported statement, while journalist Amy Chozick defends her account.
• Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz highlights discrepancies in the film, such as the portrayal of the Theranos device and Holmes’ living situation, suggesting these were staged to mislead audiences.
• Former Forbes reporter Matthew Herper and others caution that Holmes’ manipulative charisma remains powerful, and some critics argue that renewed attention to her story may inadvertently enable her influence.
