The reviews are unanimously positive, with praise centred on how Fielder and Oppenheim question documentary truth while keeping their encounters with Elizabeth Holmes tense, funny and unsettling. Most critics admire the filmmakers’ willingness to examine their own methods and assumptions rather than simply scrutinise their subject. Fielder’s deadpan questioning draws particular approval, while Amanda Seyfried’s performance earns praise for its emotional intensity and growing eeriness. The visual craft and open-ended approach also find strong support. The differences concern the degree of enthusiasm rather than any outright rejection. The Playlist finds the runtime indulgent, though it considers the later stretches engrossing enough to forgive the excess. The Ringer probes ethical contradictions while remaining absorbed by the film’s intimacy. Screen Daily offers the most restrained assessment, focusing on the difficulty of capturing such an elusive subject. Across the reviews, uncertainty is generally treated as a strength rather than a failure to provide answers. ## IndieWire — Cortlyn Kelly Rating A. 7 September 2026. Festival review. Kelly finds the documentary boundary-pushing, absurd, and disquieting, while praising its ability to leave viewers curious even after its lengthy runtime. She singles out Fielder and Oppenheim’s unsettling, open-ended approach and the film’s craft, which balance tension with comedy.
