Why would I deceive you?

You Can See Everything — 4/5

Is this good? I'm lost in the cultural fervor. I cannot identify my own opinion within everyone else's. I feel the pressure to fall in line. But also I enjoyed it heavily! Did I love it? I'm not sure. What I can know is true: it was exciting. My friends (friend), did I not merely a few months back say that the new metric was surprise? This movie is surprising. You don't know where it's going, and you have absolutely no idea who these people are; three hours later, you are no closer to knowing the truth. As much as I went in knowing it was a Nathan Fielder movie, I also had my guard down in terms of how much of a Nathan Fielder movie this was. It is still telling his long-term meta-narrative of 'am I autistic?' and 'looking for sincere male-female connection within what may or may not be a bit' and, I think more generally, 'how can I use my personal awkwardness to get to the truth of a person or situation?' He is a person who is nearly as impenetrable as Elizabeth Holmes and so who better to tell her story? Though that itself is the central mystery to this movie: why did these people choose, of all people, a comedian whom no one can separate the person from the character? It's a beautiful choice and, if calculated on their part, incredible, and fuck it, they're smarter than the rest of us. Fifth dimensional imps operate amongst us. Which I think, for me, is the larger takeaway — are these people telling the truth or not? Hard to say. But these are the people who are now running the world, and they do not behave like the rest of us. The new leaders of the human race are fucking weird.
