Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary rated R for nudity

A documentary following disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes through her final weeks of freedom has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association, which cited “language and some graphic nudity” in the classification issued Wednesday.

“You Can See Everything,” an A24 release directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, marks Mr. Fielder’s feature directorial debut. The 174-minute film follows Holmes and her partner, William “Billy” Evans, during the 34 days before she reported to a federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, in May 2023. Entertainment Weekly, citing The Hollywood Reporter, reported that one person appears fully nude in the film; A24 has declined to say who.

In the trailer, Holmes tells Mr. Fielder, “I don’t have anything to hide.”

The film premiered as a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival on Sept. 6, where attendees reportedly surrendered their phones before the showing. Early reactions have been largely positive, though reviewers have offered little explanation for the nudity citation, and the specifics remain unclear ahead of the film’s Oct. 16 theatrical release.

Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for her role in the collapse of Theranos, the blood-testing startup she founded, and was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. She formally asked the Trump administration in 2025 to commute her sentence, and as of January 2026, her projected release date stood at Dec. 30, 2031 — roughly two years and eight months earlier than her original term, per Bureau of Prisons records cited by ABC News.
