Halloween may be over but someone may be back to trick you. Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder whose blood-testing promises unravelled into fraud convictions, returns to the big screen in You Can See Everything. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film is scheduled for Thai cinemas on December 3 2026.

For anyone who’s wondering who’s that (and if she has anything to do with Sherlock Holmes), here’s the down low. Elizabeth Holmes was once the world's youngest self-made female billionaire, thanks to Theranos, her health-tech startup once valued at around US $9 billion. A Stanford dropout with big ambitions, Holmes was the classic startup success story. Her company developed a revolutionary machine called Edison that could run hundreds of medical tests using just one drop of blood. It sounded almost too good to be true. And, as it turned out, it was. 

Despite the miraculous blood-testing machine being rolled out at Walgreens for over two years, investigations eventually revealed that Theranos was not actually performing the promised tests using its own technology. Instead, the samples were just being processed through multiple commercial laboratory machines - basically how they’ve always been whenever we’ve got our blood tested. Turns out, they do need whole tubes of blood after all. Whistleblowers, regulatory investigations and, most notably, reporting by The Wall Street Journal brought the scandal into the open. Holmes was eventually convicted of fraud and sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.

The documentary follows Holmes 34 days before she reports to prison giving us a glimpse of the person behind the Steve Jobs-inspired black turtleneck, the carefully cultivated deep voice and the billion-dollar promises.

Whether you admired her, judged her or are just simply curious, ‘You can see everything’ in theatres starting December 3 2026. Check local cinema listings for venues and showtimes.
