i'm having a hard time coming up with a scenario in which the most manipulative person ever could l also be genuine.
That she genuinely wants to create and have the tech that she claimed Theranos to have.

i mean, sure....but that doesnt make her a genuine person. i can genuinely want to invent a time machine, but if i'm raking in millions of dollars under the guise of already having the technology, that doesnt make me a genuine person. that makes me a liar.

the craziest thing about this doc is that in the middle I started thinking she was innocent and maybe taken advantage of.
thats how insane Holmes manipulation is

100% THIS. i went in KNOWING she was guilty and a huge liar and she STILL convinced me she was innocent. It wasn't until I went home and processed it that I realized she tricked me. And thats exactly how she tricked very competent people into giving her a lot of money without a working product.

Not every analogy works
She can genuinely want it to and try to create something that does work. That's a good thing. But then be completely misleading about it working to make a boatload of money, that's a bad thing. Both things can be true. I'm not saying the lying doesn't outweigh the positive, I've said it four times now, she should be in jail.

She even got Fielder. He did not want to go swimming.
The end scene of him swimming in the ocean was a perfect microcosm of her manipulation.
what a movie.

i'm with you. i jsut think when you say someone is a "genuine" person, the inference is that they live their lives in a genuine, honest, and honorable way. not just that they do genuine things from time to time. semantics.

I do think she genuinely belived in her invention and clearly still does since she is trying to restart the company with Billy. But I also think she loves the thrill of the sale during fund raising more than anything. At one point in the movie they have a sales call for Theranos 2.0 and she has a legit high after the call. Chasing that high is what I think got her into trouble. its like a drug, she couldn't stop. She would say whatever she had to say to get the next high and she is incredible at lying and manipulating.

yeah, but there is zero factual, scientific, or technological basis for this belief. it's meaningless and borders on delusion. there was and is literally nothing there.

I don’t think that’s true. They could perform about a dozen tests with the device. The issue is the lead people to believe that the could perform hundreds of tests.

I watched last night...Billy and Elizabeth are so fricked up they made Nathan Fielder seem like normal.
I was surprised they made him break...the deadpan was gone....he couldnt hide his confusion and disbelief.

Saw it. Liked it. Very “cerebral”. EH is a nut job. I still believe after seeing it that she’s a pathological liar.
Also, there’s a full frontal dong shot (in the shower) for some reason of the boyfriend/father. I personally think he did that to try to lure in the next girl he needs to hook up with because of the no conjugal visits at the federal prison.
Overall , really enjoyed the documentary/docudrama

So many laugh out loud moments

purposeful inclusion of showing how the New York Times article isn’t trustworthy

I think you are overestimating the number of tests they had actually validated
They were doing things like taking the very small samples and diluting them to run in the laboratory machines other companies had developed

I think that was the best part of this film. In a normal documentary, people would say what they say and it would just go on or the filmmaker would just deadpan ask another question.
Billy and Elizabeth would just say some crazy shite and Nathan couldn't help himself and would just blurt out what every one of us was thinking. What? Are you freaking kidding me? You can't believe that?!
Our whole theatre was laughing during those scenes.Posted on 11/11/26 at 11:14 am to evil cockroach
