"Go Immediately After That": People Are Desperate Not To Miss A Second Of "You Can See Everything," So Here's The Exact Best Moment To Pee

1 week ago 31

Nathan Fielder's new documentary You Can See Everything has become such a cultural phenomenon over the weekend that moviegoers are turning to Reddit for advice on a very important question: When is it safe to go to the bathroom?

The nearly three-hour documentary is about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who reported to federal prison in May 2023 to serve out an 11-year sentence after she was convicted of defrauding investors out of more than $140 million the previous year.

Fielder, best known for Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, and his co-director Lance Oppenheim, lived with and followed Holmes during her last 34 days as a free woman before the start of her prison sentence.

The film's success has been remarkable, particularly considering its subject matter and 174-minute runtime. According to The Guardian, the A24 release earned $15 million across just 855 North American theaters during its opening weekend, making it the biggest documentary opening in two decades.

You Can See Everything also has a 99% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, a 99 on Metacritic (the 26th highest-rated film of all time on the platform), and 4.7 stars on Letterboxd at the time of reporting.

The film has captivated audiences with its intimate, probing footage, framed with Fielder's characteristically deadpan tone and a storytelling approach that blurs the lines between reality, fabrication, and perception.

According to Fielder, the film team knew they had something interesting on their hands after everyone on the crew had different interpretations of what they were witnessing in Holmes' home.

"Lance and I would talk with the rest of the crew about what we thought happened or what we thought these moments meant, and no one could reach a consensus," Fielder said in a Q&A after a screening of the doc. "And that’s when we really realized, Oh, this is really interesting to follow this. We’re all smart and we're really working at the top of our intelligence. Why can’t we make sense of what’s happening in this house?"

"I really am struggling to this day to understand exactly what I experienced," said the director of his three-year movie-making journey.

And while the film is full of twists, turns, reveals, and ambiguity, viewers do agree on one thing: go see it knowing as little as possible.

i don't want to say much about 'you can see everything' because the viewers discovery is so important and i don't want to spoil it, but there's a specific name mentioned 2/3's into the film so unexpected that the entire theater erupted, what an unbelievable movie experience

The amount of nuance and detail packed into every minute of the film makes the possibility of missing even a few minutes very stressful.

Fortunately, the internet has taken it upon itself to identify the best opportunities for a bathroom break. There's even a website dedicated to doing exactly that.

In a post on r/blankies, user u/17futurafree asked moviegoers for advice before seeing the documentary. "A good time to pee during You Can See Everything?" they wrote. "I hope I don't have to but just in case HELP." After watching the movie themselves, they dropped in with their own recommendation.

"Elizabeth and Nathan have a conversation outside of a car about halfway through, where they hug," the user explained. "Go immediately after that conversation because it's just 3 minutes of silent shots of people traveling and arriving."

The website RunPee specializes in identifying the best moments to leave a movie theater without missing important scenes. For YCSE, their team identified five potential bathroom breaks, though reviewer Dan Gardner only really recommended one: About 1:04 into the film, just after Elizabeth says "...about to start working on...I can do some prototyping."

"You would think I would find lots of good Peetimes in an almost three-hour-long documentary. Well, with this movie, you'd be very wrong," wrote Gardner. "I've found five times, but I only really like one of them: the third one. You're not going to want to go at all in the last half of this movie, so go early if needed."

According to RunPee, there are no additional scenes during or after the credits. So once the movie ends, feel free to make a run for the bathroom.
