You Can See Everything sweeps Critics Choice Documentary Awards

You Can See Everything emerged as the most decorated film at the 11th Critics Choice Documentary Awards on Sunday, 8 November, winning all five categories in which it was nominated. The New York ceremony named it best documentary feature, while Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim shared the directing award.

The remaining wins recognized David Bolen's cinematography, Adam Locke-Norton's editing and Ari Balouzian's score, according to the Critics Choice Association's official winners announcement. That breadth matters: documentary awards often celebrate the subject of a film, but these five wins also acknowledge the craft of how a story is photographed, shaped and heard.

The film follows the final 34 days before Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes began her prison sentence for fraud. It is a documentary about a documented case, not a new development in that case. Beaux is covering the fresh awards result, rather than presenting the events inside the film as breaking news.

There was more than one winner to note. Once Upon a Time in Harlem earned three awards, according to the association. Filmmaker Ron Howard received the Impact Award, and Jehane Noujaim received the Pennebaker Award. These honors broadened the evening beyond one film and offered a snapshot of the people whose work is shaping current nonfiction cinema.

The ceremony took place at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. TheWrap independently reported the results. For US audiences seeking something beyond this week's scripted releases, the awards provide a practical watchlist, though availability of each film depends on distributor and region and should be checked before promising a streaming destination.
