Not looking forward to the backlash to this. I'm seeing way way way too many posts on various pop culture/movie related subreddits about how it is so highly rated and everything. It's going to have a huge pushback because of it, the discourse is gonna get so annoying. In particular I think the narrative will be that it is too kind to Holmes (which imo isn't true, but it trusts the audience to understand how manipulative she is, which I think a lot of the general population won't get). I hope I'm wrong though

I’ve enjoyed the discourse I’ve seen so far!! I walked out of that theater really grappling with the human capacity to lie. How often do we lie to others? To ourselves? Fascinating stuff. One of the greatest films I’ve ever seen

I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm wondering if it requires the media literacy similarly needed to understand why Fielder including fMRI in Rehearsal S2 and the quack lady from CARD who helped him w/quid pro quo were not people who were helping him learn more about autism or himself

Two things can be true at once.
- He included them to highlight the immensely cynical transactional nature of these sorts of situations.
- It’s more interesting to the overall story for this to be present. It helps build the character.
Media literacy isn’t just about understanding the motivations behind the author/writer/etc. It’s also understanding that a story can be multi-faceted - having multiple complex meanings and motivations. Nothing is ever truly a binary.

Movie of the year. Endlessly fascinating. Try to avoid learning anything about it before seeing it.

I love Letterboxd and Boeing Pilot Captain Nathan Fielder but as an elder millennial it’s crazy all these gen-z kids have not rated anything above 4.7 in the entire history of cinema available on that site lol

I saw it last night and loved it. Recommend seeing it in a packed theater and DO NOT read any reviews/spoilers.

u/bam__margiela 8h ago
Would spoilers really ruin it? Given we pretty much know what happens to Holmes in the end

u/zero-if-west 8h ago
The movie has some big surprises. I wouldn't read any reviews/spoilers if you can avoid them.

u/IngmarHerzog They tell me to turn my weird movies off 7h ago
You should absolutely go in knowing as little as possible so you can be surprised at all the unexpected directions it goes in. I suspect it will still play great knowing the stuff that happens but you should preserve the chance to have that “holy shit! Fucking WHAT?!” experience for yourself.

Unfortunately scrolling through Twitter I briefly saw a name who I think may be [redacted]. At least I don’t know what their role is in the movie yet.

Seeing it tonight and feeling a level of almost unbearable, vibrating excitement akin to being six years old on Christmas eve.

Just got home from seeing it and I'm excited for you! Try not to hydrate too much, it's worth it not having to get up for the 3 hours.

I went when the actress and nathan entered the beach house and my background knowledge of the rehearsal meant that I didn't miss any very important context for the subsequent scenes. sad that I had to miss anything but it's a long ass movie and I was about to explode

Sometimes you gotta go! I tried to be strategic this time and it worked out.
One of my jobs has been at a single-screen movie theater and they would run the sound from the movie in the bathrooms sometimes. It was a nice touch.

Just back from seeing and, it cannot be repeated, but if you can go into this movie as cold as possible DO SO.
When [REDACTED] shows up it goes into the stratosphere

Do I have know much about her story? I only know the very high level info that she lied about the blood tests to get a huge amount of funding for a project that didn’t exist.

I would recommend watching the hbo documentary or 60 minutes episode, then also watching the dropout, but you will still enjoy it even if you don’t watch those and just have the basic info.

That’s fair enough, for people who like those twists and surprises! As a weirdo who hates suspense and likes spoilers so I can actually engage with the movie (or book), I couldn’t bear it 😭 (edit, I mean, even the idea of being that tense means I can’t bear to see the movie)

I went in knowing the bare minimum about EH, never having seen a doc or the Hulu show. Redacted was so good I was left wondering if all of that was scripted. It was like high drama mixed with reality tv messiness. I couldn’t believe what was happening.

I’m not surprised, Nathan Fielder is a fucking genius. Confirmed after watching the second season of the Rehearsal. I can’t wait to see it!

It only has 23k reviews so far. The numbers could shift a bit if another order of magnitude of viewers add ratings. Exciting though!!

u/snailhelper 7h ago
I can’t wait to see this. I just adore the gall of Elizabeth Holmes, I’ve watched and listened to every journalistic piece on her. I enjoy the artifice of the low voice and the Steve Jobs outfit and the green juice. She’s a fascinating curio. Adding Nathan Fielder to the mix is going to go hard.

I saw the HBO documentary when it first came out, but I've pretty much forgotten everything. I also never got around to seeing The Dropout. Should I watch them before I see the movie?

u/Anywhere-Due 4h ago
You don’t need anything more than a basic background on Holmes going into this. If you’d like to prep to watch the doc, The Dropout is a good reference point

Drove an hour to the closest showing today. It was PACKED. We were all so enthralled. It’s an incredible experience with the fellow movie goers.
You will be like that meme were the cartoon dude leans forward in his chair at least 4Xs. Minimum.
Strangers in the crowd were turning to each other like “oh my god!”
People laughing, gasping. Everyone was talking after and out to the lobby.
It is so well done.

Did anyone else think it was too much like The Rehearsal? And/or frustrated by the lack of conclusions?

I saw it today, and just... Wow. What in the actual fucking fuck?!? Also, for some strange reason, you'll see a full frontal... courtesy of her husband 😵💫
It is ~3 hours long, and I left the theater with a massive headache. 🤯
Edit: the MOVIE is 3 hours, not the appendage 😂 but.... 🤔 go measure it, yourself!
