So....is the aforementioned beautiful a-hole on display or do I have to wait for the director's cut?

Not going to spoil it for you but there was one scene where I definitely thought we were going to hear Holmes and her husband have sex.

The less you know going into it the better IMO because the reveals make it all the better

Is there any reason I would need to familiarize myself with fielder before seeing this?

I know Holmes’ story well enough, but don’t think I’ve seen him in anything

I’ve never seen Nathan For You but I knew who he is prior and somewhat understood his shtick. Probably watch an episode of that prior if you want to get a feel for him

I just got out of a showing of it and have a few thoughts:

1. It's the best cinematic documentary I've seen. Period. It would be a crime if this doesn't get an academy award for best documentary.

2. Of all the great questions that Nathan asks Elizabeth, he never brings up the artificially deep voice she did publicly while at Theranos. Elizabeth speaks with a more authentic voice in the documentary, though who TF knows if she is ever being authentic with anything about her.

3. The last third of the doc I'm still trying to process because there are so many dense meta-narratives going on. It was incredible to witness.

4. I will never look at the A&C "Whose on First?" routine the same way again lol

I was curious if he was going to address that and was waiting the whole time. I was also thinking she sounded not as deep here as what I had seen.

People are saying it’s a must see in theaters but I just can’t understand how a documentary would be better in theaters outside of your imax style nature docs.


I think there’s something communal that really enhanced the experience for me seeing it in a theater. Had a packed theater and def most of the crowd seemed aware of Nathan Feider and every twist you seemed to experience at once

Absolutely incredible doc that it’s hard to even put a finger on what it is or is saying, but I was enthralled the whole time.

The Academy Documentary branch notoriously sucks. It often feels like a doc being popular is held against it, Free Solo and OJ Made in America (a tv show) being recent exceptions. The past 4 winners have been downer political stuff, 3 of them about Russia, the most recent one being quite poor. They seem to go back and forth between the issue docs and nonsense like My Octopus Teacher.

This competing in the category with and beating The History of Concrete would be great, but I'm not optimistic.

Several Oscar prognosticators are suggesting this can be the first doc ever nominated for Best Picture, if it achieves the full hit status many think it could.

Ended up getting to go tonight to the late showing. It was so good! I'm still thinking about it.

Why didn't he ask about the voice? Big miss for Nathan there.

I went with my wife and daughter and all they could talk about was how manipulative Billy was. I can see that. He is something else, but it is all Elizabeth.

She is manipulative on a whole other level. I'm shocked my girls didn't pick up on it because most girls do. Special guest star did. Liz's college professor did. And many others. But men get taken in. There is a long list that get hypnotized by those doe eyes. Crazy eyes. I think Nathan did a little bit himself.

If you have seen it, I'll tell you this. Watch the scenes where she is a basket case of emotion like before she goes to prison. She looks like a different person totally. Look and you will see. Her eyes turn into normal eyes. She just looks different. But when she is manipulating, those eyes turn into something creepy and different. She is a pathological liar and has some kind of accelerated personality disorder on top of that.

The doc was outstanding. The score, the cinematography, just everything was outstanding. Kudos to these folks and I hope they are rewarded for their efforts.

Also, special guest star is a freaking bitch!

Last time I walked out of a theatre thinking, this was just so different, it will be a film that is remembered forever, was Pulp Fiction.

Special guest star was drunk in at least two scenes.

The financial success of the movie plays a oddly relevant role in the movie itself btw

I noticed the women around me acting the same way. Gasping and whispering about the husband and mostly ignoring the craziness of the woman. Seems relevant giving the recent mom murderer trail and Cornell 7.

Also maybe a third of the theater applauded the supporting actress when she talked shite about Charlie Kirk. Just surprised me being in a movie theater in Arkansas.
