Nathan Fielder's Holmes film sparks debate over manipulation and sympathy

Critic questions film's commitment to truth-seeking over spectacle

New Scientist reviewer Grace Wade describes the documentary as more concerned with unsettling audiences than uncovering truth. She notes that Fielder moves in with Holmes for the month before her prison surrender, creating an absurd premise, and observes that Holmes insists she has never lied, not even a white lie, yet increasingly appears to be hiding things throughout the film.
