The film “You Can See Everything” is causing quite a stir, sparking speculations about its chances at the Oscars. A24, the film distributor, is actively campaigning for awards recognition, garnering attention within the industry.
The movie revolves around the intriguing premise of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who allowed a film crew to document her final days before heading to prison. Holmes, once celebrated for her revolutionary blood-testing technology, fell from grace after being convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy.
Initially presented as a documentary, “You Can See Everything” evolves into a unique cinematic experience that has left viewers awestruck and captivated. The film’s bid for a best documentary nomination aligns with Canada’s strong track record in the category.
Notably, A24 is ambitiously vying for “You Can See Everything” to be considered for the best picture category, a rarely achieved feat for documentaries. Additionally, the film is putting forth Canadian talents for recognition in various technical and creative categories, such as best director, cinematography, film editing, original score, sound, and production design.
Unconventionally, the film is also being proposed for nominations in areas typically associated with fictional films, including costume design and makeup and hairstyling. Notably, there is a separate campaign, endorsed by Variety, advocating for Amanda Seyfried to receive a best supporting actress nomination for her role in the film.
The bold and boundary-pushing nature of “You Can See Everything” has resonated well with audiences and critics alike, leading to widespread acclaim. The film’s innovative approach to storytelling and filmmaking is poised to challenge traditional norms during the upcoming awards season, with the Oscar nominations set to be revealed on January 21.
