Morbid curiosity makes me want to see the Theranos crazy lady movie, but I won’t be upset if I never do.

I have zero desire to watch DC movies.

    The Theranos one is apparently made of up rehearsed footage, where each person in the scene is stage directed and agrees to give certain lines. The director gets multiple takes then mashes it together. It's what he's known for:

    Lance Oppenheim (born January 26, 1996) is an American director and producer. His work blends nonfiction storytelling with heightened, cinematic formalism.

    ....so basically, it's a reality TV way to make a "documentary".

    A big part of the movie is that despite it appearing fully open and honest... its still impossible to trust it since all of it is being told through the lense of someone who spent a month living with the subject. Theres no way to know if its being honestly portrayed because bias inherently exists.

    The movie intentionally makes you question the motivations behind everyone involved in the movie and how much you can actually consider "real"
