You Can See Everything Psychological Analysis by Clinical & Forensic Psychiatrists

You Can See Everything is one of the strangest films about Elizabeth Holmes yet, and in this episode two psychiatrists try to make sense of it. We explore what Nathan Fielder’s interviews bring out in Holmes and Billy Evans, from unusual facial expressions and her distinctive voice to the couple’s intense descriptions of love. Using psychoanalytic concepts such as narcissism, splitting, borderline personality organization, identity diffusion, and the “as-if personality,” we examine how people construct a sense of self and why someone might defend a version of reality that others find impossible to believe. We also ask what documentaries actually let us know about people, and how much of what we see is our own projection. Spoilers throughout.
