In a first-person review, Tyler Shultz — who worked at Theranos and later became a whistleblower — argues that Nathan Fielder's new film "You Can See Everything" is a piece of art, not a documentary, and that Elizabeth Holmes is still manipulating the narrative. Shultz says the film's central question of whether Holmes lied becomes dangerous when it creates ambiguity about the company's technology.
Shultz focuses on a scene where Holmes assembles a Theranos device on a kitchen table. He says that was not the actual "Edison" device he worked with for 12 hours a day. That prototype was never completed or used on patients. The real Edison could run one immunoassay at a time, required a Tecan pipetting robot for the initial dilution step, and had no microfluidics or automation. Shultz believes showing the fake device lets Holmes lead viewers astray.
Shultz also says the film's setting is misleading. The condo Holmes and her husband rent looks humble, but during her trial Holmes lived in an estate listed at $125 million. He notes she pulled a similar move in 2014, when a New Yorker profile described her bare two-bedroom condo in Palo Alto. For Shultz, these choices mean the film is art that serves ambiguity rather than truth.
