It's a worthy movie, plays with form, true to Fielder's style.

However I strongly disagree with the author of this post. The one thing it does wrong is under-emphasizes how much hard evidence there is the Holmes personally did serious crimes:

1. Concealed use of competitor's machines since she knew there machines weren't capable.

2. Fabricated military contracts and endorsements.

3. Knowingly presented widely inflated revenue projections to investors.

4. Explicitly admitted in court to forging reports using the letterhead and logos of major pharmaceutical companies without their permission

5. There's text messages, internal emails, and firsthand whistleblower testimony—proving that Elizabeth Holmes and her chief operating officer, Sunny Balwani, orchestrated a ruthless campaign to silence anyone who tried to expose the fraud.

If anything the movie tries to let Holmes dupe you into forgetting this. Frankly the fact that SHE invited NATHAN to film this makes me think she was trying to use her baby as a way to garner sympathy and whitewash her life (presumably not really understanding his work).
