Jeff reviewed this one solo. It's a documentary built around interviews Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans gave to Nathan Fielder in the roughly five weeks before she reported to prison, reportedly an attempt by her side to show another angle on her story. Jeff, a longtime follower of the Theranos saga going back to reading Bad Blood, was struck by how the film plays out in two distinct halves, with the second half (which he avoided spoiling) recontextualizing a lot of what comes before. He singled out Fielder's line of questioning, especially toward Evans, as sharp enough to visibly get under its subjects' skin without ever tipping into outright comedy; he described the laughs in the film as coming from discomfort rather than jokes. He noted it's drawing Best Picture buzz on top of being a near-lock for Best Documentary, flagged some adult language and one scene of nudity, and gave it a five out of five.
