Here's why the Elizabeth Holmes documentary has a graphic nude scene

Key Points:

  • The documentary “You Can See Everything,” featuring Elizabeth Holmes and directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is rated R primarily due to a graphic nudity scene involving Holmes’ fiancé, Billy Evans, rather than Holmes or Fielder.
  • The film captures intimate moments during the weeks leading up to Holmes’ prison sentence, including candid conversations about her alleged deception in the Theranos scandal and her communication tactics.
  • The R-rating was unexpected given the documentary’s format, but a notable sequence shows Evans working out and then showering fully nude on camera, which was filmed with his full consent and willingness.
  • Co-director Lance Oppenheim explained that the filmmakers had extensive access to Holmes and her family, with few restrictions except for privileged legal calls, resulting in a very revealing portrayal.
  • Social media speculation about who appears nude in the film circulated widely, but it was confirmed that the nudity is from Evans, not Holmes or Fielder, who has a history of on-screen nudity in previous works.
