MovieWeb • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The theatrical documentary genre has struggled to attract broad audiences over the past decade, with streaming platforms dominating and few nonfiction films achieving major box office success since 2004's Fahrenheit 9/11.
- "You Can See Everything," a three-hour documentary about Elizabeth Holmes by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is emerging as a major box office contender, expanding to over 3,200 theaters in its third weekend.
- The film holds the highest feature-film rating in Letterboxd history with a 4.8 out of 5 average, surpassing classics like Harakiri, 12 Angry Men, and Come and See, supported by 73% of reviews awarding it five stars.
- Critical reception is overwhelmingly positive, with a 97% rating on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, and praise for Fielder's deep commitment to the project and its compelling exploration of Holmes's psyche.
- Positioned as the leading release for Halloween weekend, "You Can See Everything" benefits from little competition as major studios avoid the frame, making it a rare documentary box office success.
