Also, pretty sure she was very drunk in at least two of the scenes.

Yeah, that probably helped shape my opinion.

I’ve been trying to be spoiler free. Don’t know how good I’ve done.

Best part of the movie for me was Amanda being on board for Holmes being potentially innocent when it was time to shite talk the husband, but the second her portrayal was criticized by Nathan she was immediately back to “She’s a liar and we portrayed things accurately!”

I don’t think that’s really how that went down.

She’s pretty convinced that Holmes is guilty and a manipulator, and works as an audience stand in for people who already had their mind made up about Holmes.

At the same time despite that, she also sees how she seems to have a cycliar habit of being ensnared by even more manipulative men in her life and the husband is clearly a pretty shady character that is running his own scam, that may or may not be the same one that Holmes is running.


Her frankly human response to Holmes criticizing her role in that movie, is one of the more interesting subplots of the whole thing. She’s very defensive at first but you can tell it is something she is trying to grapple with in terms of how much effect she truly has had on Holmes life and how culpable she is as an actress who took a role. It’s asking a lot of meta questions about documentaries, their goals compared to Holmes goals, about acting and how truth is told and understood by the public.

You will understand if you watch this

The nude scene with the guy’s dong in the shower was an odd choice to include. It added nothing to the movie, other than a cheap laugh ( I laughed).


I’m just floored that Nathan is selling out theaters. I love his unique brand of comedy and am thrilled that this is doing so well. The theater experience was very fun for this, and it has been a hell of a long time since I’ve seen a comedy in the theaters where everyone is cracking up.

I highly recommend seeing this in theaters, especially if you are a fan of Nathan’s.

I had forgotten and didn’t even put it together until today, but my wife and I and my daughter were in the car headed to the theatre, we had our own Who’s On First moment.
My wife didn’t even know what we were going to see, she just wanted to go.
She asked what movie are we going to see?
I said, You Can See Everything. She said, which one are we going to see?
I said, You Can See Everything.
She said, I know but I don’t even know which one you said we were going to see.
My daughter laughing says, that’s the name of the movie!

The name of the movie is the text that she sent him on the beach “btw you can totally see everything” - which is right after them talking about him moving into the beach house full time

The Enron name drop was when I realized there was a generational divide in my audience bc there was a mix of laughter and audible confusion

still have no idea who this person this "doc" is about and I don't know how so many ppl know who she is. Obviously she's famous somehow, but how?

Well you see, there was a time in which at least some facets of our traditional media apparatus and political/legal structure weren’t completely beholden to the whims of the CEOs of tech companies stacking a house of cards of a financial system, and back then sometimes when those CEOs did crimes, we had journalists and the judicial system sort them out for said crimes.

The evolution of Billy in this movie actually highlights this change in era quite well, in the first part of the film he’s presenting himself as this altruistic visionary who wants to change the world and is very manicured about his story and how it is told, but when we shift back to Texas 2 years later- he doesn’t really care about any of that outside of making his company into something that will change HIS world, and the personal flaws in his personality and ambition are used as weapons and armor in a much more polarized political era. It’s like watching someone evolve in real time from a bad Steve Jobs impersonator into a Sam Altman/Elon imitator


But yeah it was a pretty big deal at the time, pretty easy thing to look up and find out as much as you’re interested in finding out about that story
