Misogyny, staring bulging eyes, obnoxious fake man voice ~ there's no there there. A mockumentary selling a woman's looks while telling the "story" of her egotistic con job of old white men. Ick.

Until I saw this film, I had never heard of Theranos nor Elizabeth Holmes. However, after seeing it, the documentary left me feeling a bit angry....and happy I saw it. The film is the story of a company and its founder who claimed they could make a small, portable sized machine to test minute bits of blood for over 200 different ailments. The problem was that such technology, at least at this time, simply isn't possible and the film tells how the charismatic CEO ignored this and pushed forward...bilking investors and the public who used these machines. The film is unusual in that instead of just talking about Ms. Holmes, they had LOTS of footage of her....so it isn't like they are talking about her but have her own words. Additionally, many other folks were interviewed and they used a lot of footage of interviews made prior to the film itself. Because of this, it seems reasonably accurate and thorough. All in all, an eye-opening and most unusual film...one well worth seeing.

Just for the record, I'm giving the Documentary an 8 and Elizabeth Homes a Big Fat Zero! It's people like this that are bringing down society as well as some of the other entrepreneur's mentioned in this film who she idolizes....

Yeah, I don't know, man... This felt way too flattery (I'd like to use a different word...). Comes off as incredibly cringey. Tries to convey a level of seriousness and just fails... I was bored to death.
