Steven Cheah reviews Nathan Fielder's Holmes doc

TLDR: Barstool's Steven Cheah posted a 1-minute, spoiler-filled car review of You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder's documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, and his coworkers turned it into a bit within the hour.

He filmed it in the driver's seat at night with the poster in the corner and a spoiler warning up front. Here's the review.

You Can See Everything one minute movie review 🍿 🚨some spoilers included🚨

This isn't some random streaming movie. You Can See Everything is Nathan Fielder's first feature as a director, made with Lance Oppenheim and released by A24 in US theaters on October 16. It follows Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder, and her partner Billy Evans, who let a film crew in during the 34 days before she reported to federal prison to start an 11-year sentence for defrauding investors. It premiered at a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6.

The whole movie asks whether you can trust what you're looking at. Fielder has called Holmes a liar in interviews, and he has also said she seems so genuine. Cheah's captions suggest his read came down to 'DO I CARE?' That's a pretty Barstool way to grade a 3-year meta-documentary about one of the biggest frauds in Silicon Valley history.

🍿 Steven Cheah’s review of “The Erika Story” by Ohio Tate 🍿

Ohio Tate needed about an hour to turn it into a meme. He cut a version billed as Cheah's review of 'The Erika Story,' with the subtitles swapped to things like 'WHO FUCKING CARES?' That's how you know a format has caught on in the office: someone else is already parodying it before lunch. Other replies kept it simple, like this smug little fist pump aimed straight at Cheah.

TJ had the best take on it. Fielder has built a career on putting people in uncomfortable setups to see what they really think: Nathan For You, The Rehearsal, and now a convicted fraudster in a beach house. TJ figures the one subject Fielder couldn't crack is the Barstool brain.

The impenetrable minds that exist at Barstool Sports might be the subject that would finally break Nathan Fielder.

@TJHitchings We need a Nathan Fielder 'Cheah' documentary next

Honestly, that's a fair pitch. Fielder clearly gets close to his subjects: Variety reports Holmes called him from prison right before the movie came out, the first time they had talked in half a year. Getting a real answer out of the guy who watched this whole movie and landed on 'DO I CARE?' might be harder. The film is in theaters now, so if you want a review that's longer than 1 minute, you can go form your own opinion.
