Summary
Thirty-four days before beginning her prison sentence, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her life. What begins as an intimate portrait develops into a mind-bending, three-year journey that explores Holmes, her partner Billy Evans, and the complicated relationship between truth, image, and documentary filmmaking.

I love how Nathan just says what everyone is thinking. The eggs. Billy just grabs the bowl and starts beating the eggs. Elizabeth passes it off as a little quirk of the relationship, but it’s just a clear example of Billy being controlling. Nathan of course just calls it out.
And when Billy says, “I know exactly what you’re thinking,” and Nathan says, “No you don’t!” Balls of steel.
