Here’s the trailer for Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, in theaters October 16

We live in a bewildering time, where the world’s most powerful people are trying to make themselves cyborgs, conquer the inevitability of death, and colonize outer space. But in the midst of such a jarring moment in the history of humanity, the world throws you a bone. In this cursed timeline, we have been gifted with something so unfathomable that we could never have imagined it, because even in our wildest dreams, we wouldn’t have come up with something so perfect: a Nathan Fielder documentary about Elizabeth Holmes.

For the uninitiated, Nathan Fielder is a filmmaker and comedian who is known for his uncanny ability to put himself into awkward situations, yet remain in character for so long that it forces everyone involved — even the viewer — to reflect on the essence of their own existence. And then there’s Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced Theranos startup founder who still denies she did anything wrong, making the world question whether she’s really that naive, or if she’s still playing a game of 5D chess that none of us signed up for.

We are not ready for these two to collide, but get your black turtlenecks ready for the premiere, because the resulting documentary from A24, “You Can See Everything,” is coming to theaters on October 16.
