The movie “You Can See Everything” is creating a significant buzz, prompting discussions about its potential for Oscars recognition. Film distributor A24 has launched an awards campaign for the movie, garnering attention within the industry.
The film revolves around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who invited a film crew to document her life before heading to prison. Once hailed for her groundbreaking technology, Holmes later faced legal troubles, including convictions for wire fraud and conspiracy.
“You Can See Everything” transitions from a documentary format to a unique cinematic experience, leaving viewers in awe. The film’s push for consideration in the best documentary and best picture categories is ambitious, especially given the lack of past nominations for documentaries in these prestigious award categories.
Additionally, the movie is advocating for directorial recognition for Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, as well as nominations in cinematography, film editing, original score, sound, and production design. The film’s unconventional approach has even led to suggestions for costume design, makeup, and hairstyling nominations, highlighting its distinctiveness within the documentary genre.
Furthermore, there is a separate campaign for Amanda Seyfried’s potential nomination as best supporting actress for her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes. Seyfried’s dual roles in “The Dropout” and “You Can See Everything” add a layer of complexity to the awards discussion.
Despite its unconventional elements, “You Can See Everything” has been well-received by audiences and critics alike, showcasing its innovative storytelling and filmmaking techniques. The film’s fate at the upcoming Oscar nominations on Jan. 21 will determine its official recognition by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
