Amanda Seyfried's surprise role elevates You Can See Everything

The article highlights Amanda Seyfried's appearance in You Can See Everything as a nuanced and unexpected performance. In the film, Seyfried watches footage of her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes alongside Nathan Fielder, then becomes his partner in the investigation.

Amanda Seyfried arrives late in You Can See Everything, sitting with Nathan Fielder while watching earlier material. Before this, viewers have encountered only short excerpts of her Elizabeth Holmes work from Hulu’s The Dropout. Holmes is shown responding to a dramatized exchange with a made-for-TV former partner; she turns aside and closes the computer. Seyfried, tearful and uncertain, softly says she likes that sequence.

As Holmes starts an 11-year prison term and Fielder continues examining Theranos, Seyfried becomes his collaborator. Some sequences lack recorded footage, so Fielder rebuilds them from recollection into scripts and performs opposite Seyfried. One such recreation takes place at the residence where he had lodged with Holmes and her fiancé, Billy Evans, before she surrendered.
