Elizabeth Holmes Documentary "You Can See Everything" Receives Surprise R-Rating
The film, co-directed by Nathan Fielder, was rated for "language" and "some graphic nudity."
The upcoming documentary "You Can See Everything," featuring disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, has received an unexpected R-rating from the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for "language" and "some graphic nudity," according to FilmRatings.com.
The film, co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is slated for theatrical release on October 16. It gained significant attention following the release of a teaser trailer that depicted Holmes in an intense exchange with Fielder. In the clip, Holmes, who has maintained her innocence amid fraud convictions, insists to Fielder, "I'm not that person. I can promise you that. I don't have anything to deceive you on; of course, I'm not deceiving you."

The interaction, during which Holmes stares intently at Fielder without blinking, occurs shortly before she began her prison sentence in May 2023. Holmes is currently serving time for wire fraud and conspiracy charges related to the collapse of her blood-testing company, Theranos.
The documentary was reportedly filmed in secrecy prior to its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival last month. Fielder reportedly lived with Holmes and her family in San Diego for over a month in 2023 to capture footage for the project. Holmes, who shares two children with her partner Billy Evans, has maintained her assertions of innocence.
Social media reactions to the R-rating have ranged from humorous speculation about the "graphic nudity" to observations about the film's title. The film's rating has prompted discussions online, with some users making light of the rating in relation to Holmes' past claims.
