even if it's fake it's real, the you can see everything edition
From the Variety piece on Nathan Fielder’s documentary on Elizabeth Holmes, You Can See Everything.
The documentary’s first half ends with Holmes saying goodbye to her family and going off to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. The prison won’t allow anyone to interview her, so that’s more or less the last we’ll see of her. And we’ve pretty much gotten the skinny on her, which is that she has a wall of denial standing between herself and the truth, and an indifference to the harm she might have caused, that borders on the sociopathic. So what is there left to discover?
Plenty, it turns out. With Holmes out of the picture, Fielder needs someone to sustain her presence. So he calls Amanda Seyfried, who sits and watches the scene we’ve just seen of Holmes sitting and watching Seyfried portray her.
I know I’ll go see this movie and I also don’t know if I can take 174 minutes of this in one sitting. Even this Variety piece is breaking my brain. (We’re way beyond simple 2x2s now…)
