2026’s First 100% Rotten Tomatoes Movie: Certified Perfect Film Finally Arrives

2026's First 100% Rotten Tomatoes Movie: Certified Perfect Film Finally Arrives

You Can See Everything is already setting impressive milestones.

Nathan Fielder has been steadily expanding his film and television resume with choices that surprise and often unsettle — projects hearkening back to the awkward, deadpan tone that made Nathan for You a cult hit. In recent years he’s branched into two very different comedy series: the rehearsal-driven reality experiment of The Rehearsal, in which Fielder plays a heightened version of himself guiding ordinary people through staged encounters, and the darker, star-powered satire-thriller The Curse, co-created with and starring Emma Stone. Now Fielder has shifted into documentary territory.

Rotten Tomatoes confirmed on X that You Can See Everything has become the first widely released movie of 2026 to receive a Certified Fresh rating at a flawless 100%.

At the moment, the documentary holds an unusual perfect critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes — 100% based on 89 reviews — a notable feat that the site highlighted. That critical acclaim is mirrored by audiences: the film currently posts a near-ideal 99% audience score, which could climb further and potentially equal the critics’ tally. Either way, You Can See Everything has already landed among the highest-rated films on the site.

The film pairs Fielder with director Lance Oppenheim — who previously worked on the Robert Pattinson-fronted piece Primetime — to document the final weeks in the life of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the health-tech company Theranos, and her then-partner Billy Evans before Holmes began serving a prison sentence for fraud. Holmes’ rise to prominence, complete with comparisons to figures like Steve Jobs, and her dramatic collapse into infamy have been covered extensively. What distinguishes You Can See Everything is the unprecedented level of access Fielder and Oppenheim gained to Holmes’ everyday life, a vantage point that helps reveal both the persona she cultivated while launching Theranos and the person beneath that public façade.

In ScreenRant’s review of You Can See Everything, critic George Bate awarded the film a 9 out of 10. Bate describes the R-rated documentary as intellectually engaging and likely to provoke conversation. He argues that Fielder’s comic instincts allow the film to examine a notorious figure in a way that feels fresh — not merely as true-crime exposé, but as a probing character study. The filmmakers’ frequent use of extreme close-ups is singled out: those tight shots capture fleeting facial tics and micro-expressions on Holmes’ face, moments that Fielder and viewers can scrutinize as they try to read her sincerity.

Bate also notes a major turning point that arrives about halfway through the picture, an unexpected shift that reorients the narrative and makes the film difficult to compare directly with other documentaries. That dramatic pivot may help explain why the movie has resonated so strongly with critics and audiences alike. Since its theatrical debut on October 16, You Can See Everything has had time to build word of mouth — and its audience rating still has room to move closer to the critics’ perfect score.
