You Can See Everything is climbing the ratings and fueling Oscar speculation
You Can See Everything has made it through its first weekend in theaters, and the internet is giddy.
Since Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes opened in the U.S. on Oct.
16, viewers have sent it climbing Letterboxd’s rankings, called it one of the best films they’ve ever seen, and even started making the case for a Best Picture Oscar.
The reactions are enthusiastic, to put it mildly.
Even our entertainment editor Kristy Puchko called it, "mesmerizing and mind-bending." SEE ALSO: Does 'You Can See Everything' live up to the hype? Between the ratings, the posts, and an estimated $15 million opening weekend, here’s how the film is turning weeks of anticipation into an even bigger conversation.
Letterboxd ratings put it among the platform’s favorites As of today (Oct.
19), You Can See Everything has reached a 4.71-out-of-five average on Letterboxd , overtaking the 1962 Japanese film Harakiri to become the platform’s highest-rated film.
Reception is similarly strong on Rotten Tomatoes , where the film holds a 98 percent critics' score from 126 reviews and a matching 98 percent verified audience score as of Oct.
19.
And to complete the "ratings trilogy," its IMDb score reached 9.4 out of 10, making it the highest-scored movie in IMDb history.
But the written reviews give a more colorful picture of what’s driving that response.
"My mouth was agape for basically the entire last two hours," wrote one reviewer.
Another added, "I genuinely don’t think I have ever had more fun watching a movie." As one reviewer wrote, " this is one of the most important works of art of the 21st century.
I want more people to watch this than I want them to watch anything right now." This Tweet is currently unavailable.
