入狱前的部分充满了铺垫，也让我提前适应了这异常诡异的气氛，当字幕的"Two years later"出现，全片朝着一个无法控制的方向狂飙突进。你感觉这就是对影视艺术的彻底剖析，你感觉你看到了真相，你怀疑Elizabeth Holmes，你怀疑Nathan Fielder，你唾弃Billy Evans，但最后，在Amanda Seyfried的那个微笑之下，你只能怀疑自己。到底是纪录片，还是电影，可能并不重要，重要的是你有幸在电影院里看到了这部作品。2026年，我的影视记忆画面就定格在Amanda和Nathan坐在壁炉前的那一刻。

Regarding Elizabeth Holmes: I read the book, listened to the podcasts, and watched the Hulu show. It was, at the time, a story I found fascinating, just the amount of deception happening. Confounding.
Regarding Nathan Fielder: I'm familiar with him in that I've seen clips of things, but I've not watched any of his shows in full. No particular reason as to why or why not, as he seems like a guy whose output I'd enjoy, I just haven't is all.
Regarding Billy Evans: There are worse people in this world that have more power than he ever will, but he's a pretty great amalgam of all of them. What an absolute fuckhead.
Regarding the doc itself: I'm honestly probably more like a 4 or 4.5 on the content - I would've liked to have heard more from Liz's dad, for instance - but there are so many layers to try and unpack here (can anyone truly know anyone? what is truth/belief/deception?), and then it goes in directions one really can't expect, so in the execution of it all it's hard not to give it the full 5.
