Like many this weekend who witnessed Nathan Fielder’s new movie, You Can See Everything<\/em>, my reaction was something like wtf?<\/em> (That’s actually an exact quote from the guy sitting next to me, though he didn’t use the initialism.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other Fielder offerings (the Nathan for You<\/em> finale comes to mind immediately)… it was riveting. It’s not easy to keep someone on the edge of his seat for three hours, but there I was. I didn’t move or blink or breathe or anything silly like that for nearly twice as long as I usually am willing to sit through a movie. Sure, it didn’t need to be that long, but its length never made it any less enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was awkward, it was funny, it was intense, it was though-provoking. There’s no great reveal, no smoking gun… but that’s kind of the point. You leave not knowing what<\/em> to think about the Elizabeth Holmes saga, or Holmes herself or the people around her. I know that the people around me<\/em>, a hundred or so at the Alamo Drafthouse (totally packed, by the way), had the same reaction. Just kind of stunned after going on this journey together. I’m glad I saw it in a theater, not that I needed to see it on a giant screen but that I got to be part of a community. A community of people on a long, strange trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kudos, Nathan Fielder and company, as always. I’m already waiting for the next strange trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
