Nathan Fielder says Elizabeth Holmes seemed "so genuine at times," but adds: “I know she’s a liar.” “When I met her, I remember having this weird experience where she seems so genuine at times. But then I’m like, ‘no,’ and clocking and tracking my thoughts and being like, ‘Okay, I know she’s a liar.’ It was a weird mental thing. From there, we were like, ‘Can we roll the dice on something if they were open to having cameras in?'” Fielder said at #NYFF. “It wasn’t until we started shooting that moments would happen — some of them are in the film — and then after Lance and I would talk about what we thought happened there. We’d completely disagree on what something meant to us and what we thought was happening. Then we were like, ‘Oh, this is really interesting. If we can’t agree on what’s happening, there’s something here.’ And our curiosity sort of just like drove us from there.” variety.com/2026/film/news/n…

she’s a liar but i also think she genuinely didn’t know WHO was on first base and i think there is a funny but also really heartbreaking element to that.

I can't be the only that continues to find this clip so strange. Her talking and mannerisms, why are they sitting so close and why does she look like a hobbit? Regardless looking forward to watching it.

Yeah interacting with an actual narcissist tends to feel like that.

She clearly feels no shame and is good at lying. She is also good at speaking tech/business word salad nonsense.

Of course she's a liar, she wouldn't have gotten any money from investors if she told the truth. She oversold the truth of her machine by 90% at least in order to get that $$. Fake it and she hoped she would make it. She's a scammer, nothing more.

He's talking in past tense. Upon meeting her, before the film was made. This headline blurb makes it seem as if it's his final verdict. Which is the intent. Despicable.

Coming from Nathan Fielder, that means something. On season 2 of The Rehearsal he hired an actress to play an airline PR rep just so he could practice one phone call. He knows what a performance looks like.

Nathan will never admit it, but he’s a bit in love/infatuated with Elizabeth. There is a non-zero chance they meet up again when she’s out in 2028.

Nathan was falling in love with her & that seemed to be her charm. That’s prob. how she got all those mega donors (they fell for her) best part: she doesn’t even know she has that affect, she’s disconnected from reality. *proof: she didn’t get the simplest ‘Who’s on First’ bit😎

Nothing immediately convinces me you’re a liar like claiming to have never lied in your life

She moves seamlessly between willful naivity and intentional self delusion thus duping similarly self-deluded investors who had more dollars than sense, enough greed to fill their olympic-sized swimming pools who couldn't tell the difference btwn veinous blood 🩸& a finger-stick

@nathanfielder That's called, "sociopathy." And that personality disorder was VERY useful to her in defrauding so many people.

the way he said "can we roll the dice" like she wasnt actively defrauding people is so nathan fielder core. hes the only person who would meet elizabeth holmes and think "this could make good tv" instead of "this woman is a problem"
