The film “You Can See Everything” is creating significant buzz, sparking discussions about its potential for Oscars recognition. A24, the film distributor, has initiated an awards campaign that is gaining attention within the industry.
The movie revolves around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who garnered immense wealth by promoting a technology that could detect numerous diseases with a mere drop of blood. However, by 2022, Theranos had collapsed, and Holmes was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy.
Described as mind-blowing and unique, “You Can See Everything” transitions from a documentary-style portrayal of Holmes to something entirely different, captivating those who have watched it.
Seeking nominations in various categories, including Best Documentary and Best Picture, the film aims to break barriers in the Oscars race. Additionally, it puts forth names like Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder for the Best Director category, a feat unprecedented for a documentary.
Furthermore, Canadians David Bolen and Adam Locke-Norton are proposed for Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing, respectively, along with nominations in other technical categories.
In a surprising move, the film is also being considered for Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, and Hairstyling, challenging conventional documentary norms. Notably, there is a campaign for Amanda Seyfried to be nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in the film.
Audiences and critics alike have lauded the film for its innovative storytelling, pushing the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. The anticipation now lies in whether the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences will recognize this bold approach when the Oscar nominations are announced on January 21 next year.
