I know people sneak into spoiler threads so let me start by saying, yes, this film is incredible. Whatever you think about Elizabeth Holmes going into this film, you’ll walk out with a whole new set of thoughts.

It’s a long film (3 hours), but I do recommend seeing it in a theater, or at the very least with other people, because their reactions are part of the film. There are hilarious moments in this film, there are moments where you’ll say “What the fuck” for lack of a better reaction. It’s not as “awkward” or “cringe” as other Nathan Fielder projects, but perhaps the theater experience is what lessened it. As for the length itself, it’s basically two films, and you’ll know when shifting from the first to the second, there is a clear fade to black.

Ok, spoilers now.

The film starts off good but the “Who’s on first?” moment broke me (and Nathan) and is when the film shifted to great. Elizabeth has to be full of shit, right? She dug a lie too deep and so she has to play this “innocent” character. Right? Or does she really not see it?

But of course the real villain of the film, Billy the husband. I think somewhere in him he thinks he’s doing the right/good thing. I think he thinks he’s protecting Elizabeth. It’s abusive in a “he beats me because he loves me” kind of way (and to clarify I don’t think Billy is physically abusive, but he is controlling abusive.)

But also, is Billy just the new Sunny (Elizabeth’s former romantic and business partner)? Is Elizabeth falling into her old patterns? Does she realize it? Or did she pick Billy because he can be the “bad cop” in the relationship?

I have so many other thoughts, but the unanswered question, the New York Times reporter quote. Did Elizabeth say she created a character? Did she slip? Or did the reporter mishear her? Nathan and Amanda (who I forgot to say is amazing in this film) have the moment where even Nathan isn’t quite sure he recalls their conversation correctly.

The story of Elizabeth Holmes is far from over. I don’t know what to expect next.
