I think the theme is more along the lines of, he knows intellectually that Elizabeth is lying but she triggers authentic emotions of trust and sympathy. He's smart enough to not let his emotional reaction override his intellect but he's fascinated at the cognitive dissonance.

It's similar in style to The Rehearsal, he shows you how Elizabeth can manipulate people by example instead of just talking about it

I mean, these people did buy her lies, so clearly they are not so good at figuring out what to believe.

The number of people who don’t understand the film is truly staggering. We need to fund education in this country for better media literacy if nothing else.

The article also has basically nothing to it.

A lot of movie news article titles are like this. The day fedi supports titles with bold and italics will be great.

Dang, I can't unsee it lol. Straight up gender swapped zuck. It's mostly the soulless liar's eyes that do it

If it’s a satire what is it satirizing? If Fielder is playing a character and is a subject of the film why is it billed as an actual documentary instead of a mockumentary?

Nathan Fielder fans want you to believe he is some 1000iq anime character. He fell for it lol.

I've seen a lot of Nathan Fielder's work from Nathan for You, The Rehearsal, and even The Curse. This is like the one time I've seen him not play a character or satirize anything.
