Premise
Holmes and Evans invite Fielder and Oppenheim to document their lives in the days before Holmes goes to prison, and the filmmakers continue following the couple over the course of three years.[5]

Oppenheim and Fielder contacted Holmes upon hearing through a friend that she was looking for someone to document her life. Fielder had read John Carreyrou’s 2018 book Bad Blood and thought that the story had already been thoroughly covered in the media, but he became curious about Holmes's perspective following her retreat from the public eye.[6]
Holmes and her partner Billy Evans invited the film crew to live at home with them and their children during the 34 days prior to Holmes beginning her prison sentence.[6] A24 gave the filmmakers permission to pursue the project without a deadline or obligation to turn the footage into a finished film, with the studio saying that if nothing came of the project it could just be scrapped.[6] According to Fielder, they knew they had a compelling story when crew members disagreed about what was happening in the house, saying: “And that’s when we really realized, 'Oh, this is really interesting to follow this. We’re all smart and we’re really working at the top of our intelligence. Why can’t we make sense of what’s happening in this house?'"[7]
The original plan was for Fielder to remain behind the camera, but the interactions Fielder had with Holmes and Evans were so strange that it was decided to include them in the film.[8] Fielder and Oppenheim also reached out to several people who knew Holmes or had worked with her, but were unable to get them to participate in the film. Fielder said "People did not want to appear in this, or people from the past were just sort of done with her."[7]
Release
On September 6, 2026, the film premiered at the 53rd Telluride Film Festival as a secret screening. Attendees were unaware of which film they would be seeing, and were required to surrender their mobile devices to prevent leaked information.[1][2][9] That same day, A24 released a teaser trailer and announced that the film would be released in theaters on October 16, 2026.[1][4]
Reception
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 100% based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 9.5/10.[10] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 95 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[11]
The film's Telluride premiere drew positive early reviews, highlighting the filmmakers' close access to Holmes and Fielder's deadpan role as an on-camera interviewer.[12][9]
Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman called the film "a one-of-a-kind reality-TV-as-hangout-movie psychodrama circus" and said that it "overlaps reality, performance, deception, and mental illness until it brings you into the enigmatic space where all those things meet".[12]
