You Can See Everything(2026)

I am blown away. What the actual fuck. This is the most mesmerizing, hilarious, and emotionally scintillating cinematic experience I’ve ever had. I mean I already knew this after The Rehearsal, but Nathan Fielder is truly a generational talent. Armed with a creative partner that is as daring as Amanda Seyfried, this film is a must-watch of this whole decade.

The way he weaves artistic intent and his own state of mind when interacting with her into the storytelling is remarkable. I really went on the same emotional rollercoaster that he was on, from the same initial guardedness, to the provisional sympathy towards Holmes, and then frustration that she would again hand over so much of her own agency to another controlling and abusive man, and then the final realization that while yes you can see everything, it doesn't mean that you can tell what's real vs not.

My favorite scene was probably when Amanda was first brought to Billy, the way she immediately goaded Billy to disastrously reveal who he is with laser precision within an hour of their meeting. That was not what I expected when she said she would be "disarming", but that was such a masterclass in dealing with insecure bullies. Billy Evans really thought he was more media savvy than Amanda, when they are not even remotely in the same league. It was very satisfying to see him get schooled like this.

In Chinese middle school, we were taught that Mao Zedong didn't really launch the Cultural Revolution that killed millions of people and devastated the country in every sense, but rather he was misled by his scheming gang of ill-advisers into doing so and that ultimately it wasn't his fault. Elizabeth was the CEO and chairman of the board at Theranos. She remains the person who is in charge of her own life, despite giving Billy her power of attorney (I looked it up she can revoke this anytime). This might be a completely unhinged thing to say maybe instead of being the female Steve Jobs, she is actually the American Mao Zedong.

Lastly, I am thinking about the intent behind showing Billy's very hung dick. Why is that there? I don't know if it's a callback reference to the "cherry-tomato boys" scene in The Curse, the only scripted show he's ever done. Perhaps it's offered as conclusive evidence that people with big dicks don't necessarily have big dick energy.
