Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Elizabeth Holmes is no longer a villain. She’s a subject. A character. A performance.

Fielder and Oppenheim turn the camera on themselves. They become part of the story they’re telling.

Reality becomes a script. The line between documentary and fiction dissolves.

Seeing more doesn’t mean knowing more. It means being convinced of a version you never asked for.
