Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Gets R-Rating for “Graphic Nudity”

You can see everything … and perhaps more than you wanted to?

A24‘s hugely buzzy Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything has just been given a R-rating.

But it’s the reason for the rating for the Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim documentary that’s raised eyebrows among some online. The MPA stated the rating is for “language” (as you might expect) and “graphic nudity” (oh-oh, really?).

In the film, Fielder moves in with Holmes and her husband, William Evans, for an intensely candid portrait of the disgraced Theranos founder in the period before her incarceration.

Fan reaction has been, as you might expect, rather playful: “If I see anything less than everything I’m demanding a refund!” and “I’m beginning to wonder if this is actually what the title comes from…” and “Non-zero chance it’s graphic nudity of Nathan Fielder. Even odds, actually.”

We don’t want to spoil. But we will tease an explanation for the rating — but don’t read the following if you don’t want to know anything: One person in the documentary goes full frontal.

The ratings follows another tempest-in-a-teapot bit of You Can See Everything news on Thursday when a typo in the film’s official trailer went viral, with fans becoming convinced the confusing-looking error was intentional — until A24 fixed it.

You Can See Everything will be released in theaters Oct. 16, following its brief festival tour.

The Hollywood Reporter‘s critic wrote that in You Can See Everything, “What begins as a fascinatingly intimate portrait of a deluded or disingenuous scammer reveals as something even wilder, more ambitious and less predictable, until we’re left to ponder what value a personal truth has at all.”
