Within hours of its theatrical release, You Can See Everything has shot to the top of every significant media ranking website there is. At the time of publication, it’s sitting at a perfect 100-percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 4.7 stars average on Letterboxd, and a 98 metascore on Metacritic, putting it at number 26 on that site’s best movies of all time. You Can See Everything pits surrealist Nathan Fielder against Theranos con-artist Elizabeth Holmes in a Lying Liars Who Lie-off disguised as a documentary.

According to early reviews, it’s so good it’s scary.

you need to stop what you are doing and go see ‘you can see everything’ right now. it is that good. i am not exaggerating

You Can See Everything opens today on 900 screens. For me (and judging by the reviews, I'm not alone), it's the movie of the year. See it as soon as you can, with as many people as you can, after reading as little as you can.

I’ll pub a review tomorrow but You Can See Everything? Yeah it’s legit

I’m legit scared to see it, fearing whatever tricks of the mind Nathan Fielder pulls will irrevocably damage my psyche. I’ve seen both seasons of The Rehearsal, so I know that’s a damn sure bet to make.

"You Can See Everything" will make you question everything

I’m even scared to skim reviews, afraid they might divulge the trick I feel in my disquieted spirit is coming that will totally upset the balance of what or who the audience is supposed to believe. Read them at your peril. Browse social media at your peril for spoilers are afoot. Do whatever you can to shorten the time between the movie’s release and you seeing it while the thrilling uncertainty of it all still remains. But judging from what people are saying online, it might be hard to see it at all with theaters selling out nationwide, in markets big and small.

You Can See Everything is sold out all weekend. ;_; I've only seen 2 movies in theater the last 6-7 years. Didn't realize you needed to pre-order movie tickets.

I, too, live in suburban Ohio and can confirm that the first two Friday showings of the movie at the nearest theater to me playing it were sold out. According to Deadline, the movie’s already made $1.75 million from its Thursday night opening. Not bad for production company A24, which has back-to-back hits on its hands after the outstanding and surreal Primetime released last month.
