Viewership nearly doubled again during the week of 12 October, increasing 92% over the week prior in the days before the film’s 16 October premiere.

Holmes, at one point the youngest female self-made billionaire in the US with a net worth $4.5bn by the time she was 30, left the company in 2018, after Carreyrou’s reporting revealed that she and others knew that Theranos devices could not accurately test blood samples.

Borat → produce → 2006
The film also pushed the weekend’s champion, the video game adaptation Street Fighter, to second place on Monday’s box office chart.

In a five-star review, the Guardian called it “a stupefying and gloriously destabilizing hall of psychological mirrors, a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime collision of director and subject”.
asserted

Pundits are also predicting that the film could become the first documentary ever nominated for an Oscar for best picture.
uncertain
film → predict → picture
Additionally, due to the film’s twisty second half – minor spoilers ahead – A24 will submit You Can See Everything for consideration for cinematography, score, director, costume design, production design, and makeup and hairstyling on top of best documentary.
