The film “You Can See Everything” is creating significant buzz, sparking discussions about its potential for Oscars recognition. A24, the film distributor, has launched an awards campaign that has garnered attention within the industry.
The storyline of “You Can See Everything” revolves around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who invited a film crew to document her activities 34 days before her prison sentence. Once a prominent figure claiming revolutionary health technology, Holmes faced legal consequences for fraud by 2022.
Initial perceptions of the film as a documentary evolve into a unique and mind-bending experience according to viewers. The campaign aims for nominations in the best documentary category, a field where Canadian films have excelled historically.
Surprisingly, A24 is also pushing for the film to be considered for the best picture category, a rare feat for documentaries. Additionally, the film is advocating for nominations in various categories such as best director, cinematography, film editing, original score, sound, and production design.
In an unexpected twist, the film seeks recognition for costume design, makeup, and hairstyling, challenging traditional documentary norms. Reports suggest an unofficial campaign for Amanda Seyfried to be considered for best supporting actress for her role in the film.
The film’s unconventional approach to storytelling has captivated audiences and received high praise. The anticipation now lies in how the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences will receive this bold venture when Oscar nominations are announced on January 21 next year.
