(CNN) — Since Joanie Montgomery saw Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary “You Can See Everything” last weekend, there has been one moment she can’t get out of her mind: a shot of Fielder wearing briefs and swimming in the ocean with his subject, Elizabeth Holmes. “It was very intimate, and he looked really beautiful,” said Montgomery, a 33-year-old Philadelphia-based drag artist who performs as Diva Baby. “I need him so bad. I don’t know what else to say.”
Fielder and Oppenheim’s word-of-mouth sensation has taken pop culture by storm, earning millions at the box office, winning near-universal critical praise and generating a ton of press coverage, as well as Oscar buzz. And yet, one of the more surprising and surreal things to emerge from the film’s release — at least to those who found Fielder’s gangly presence to be entirely awkward and strange, in keeping with his prior work — has been the vocal contingent of viewers who came out thinking he’s a certified stud.
“I was blown away by the film, but also now feel deeply affectionate towards Nathan Fielder,” said Dallas, a 28-year-old writer in New York, who asked, like others in this story, to be referred to by just her first name. “I walked out of the theater being like, ‘I have competition because I want to have sex with Nathan Fielder and everyone here wants to have sex with Nathan Fielder.’”
Across social media, others who’ve seen “You Can See Everything” have spoken of their subsequent desire to, well, see everything of Fielder. On TikTok, women have praised him for being “assertive while calm…confident without bravado” and for seeming “snuggleable.” Others have said that any straight men confused by the reactions to Fielder are proving they will never truly understand the complexities of the female gaze.
“There’s a lot of stuff going on in the background of his mind. Like, there’s this whole control panel room, carefully thinking of what to say,” said Sophia, a 20-year-old University of Toronto student. “I think that’s definitely very attractive.”
‘I just wanted them all to kiss’
This film is not the first time Fielder has been declared something of a sex symbol. When he released “The Rehearsal” in 2022 on HBO, New York magazine’s The Cut wrote about Fielder’s “strange sex appeal,” noting his specific mix of intellect, vulnerability and control. At the same time, the Daily Beast reported on the Fielder fandom, with devotees praising his voice, competence and willingness to debase himself for the camera. “There is something attractive about a person whose appeal is so raw, so innate, so against expectation, that we have to spend time figuring out what it is,” wrote Marianne Eloise.
But while T-shirts with Fielder’s face on them have been available for several years now, the unique cultural moment that “You Can See Everything” is enjoying has unlocked a legion of new fervent fans. That includes Dallas, who said she came into her Wednesday night screening without any real feelings for Fielder, but left with a new object of affection. “The movie is all extreme close-up shots of everyone’s face for three hours straight, and so it was almost this illusion of what it would feel like to like be close to him or be in the room with him,” she said. “I found myself really loving that feeling.”
In addition to the way the film is shot, viewers have described a palpable sexual tension or chemistry underscoring the movie (and even its short teaser trailer) between the film’s main subjects: Fielder, Holmes, her romantic partner Billy Evans and the actor Amanda Seyfried. The movie is replete with long moments of silence, intense stares and gentle teasing and probing among the four that can feel particularly electric to some viewers. In one sequence, Evans showers nude for Fielder and his crew. In another, Seyfried and Fielder converse intimately by a fireplace.
“I didn’t really get to sink into the other themes of ‘who’s playing who’ because I just wanted them all to kiss,” Montgomery said. She noted a sequence in which Fielder comes to stay at the home of Holmes and Evans, only to learn there is no mattress out for him. To her, that felt almost like a suggestion that the documentarian join the couple in their own bed — something he actually does at one point as they all watch Seyfried as Holmes in “The Dropout.” “It was hard for me not to picture them all naked,” said Montgomery.
“His interactions with Elizabeth are just very attractive,” Sophia said. “They’re basically having sex without physically touching each other, if that makes any sense. It’s just the way that they talk to each other, their chemistry.”
The simple truth behind Fielder’s sexiness?
Fielder is not conventionally attractive, concedes Breca, a 26-year-old bisexual man in Pennsylvania, but the filmmaker’s salt-and-pepper hair and stubble did something for Breca nonetheless. “He’s always looked middle-aged, even when he was younger, so he’s kind of grown into that, which I think made him seem more attractive,” Breca said.
Co-director Oppenheim would agree. “I’d always tell him, ‘You look so handsome in this.’ And I was just like, ‘I love being this close on your face. I’m so tight on your face right now and you look amazing,’” Oppenheim told GQ. “And he’d be like, ‘Dude, you could see my blackheads and my zits and stuff.’ I’d be like, ‘You look great. I actually think it makes you look better.’ He’s a very unconventionally hyper-masculine man.”
There are also unique parts of Fielder’s personality — or, at least, the persona he portrays on camera — that make him catnip for some. Montgomery, for example, said she was attracted to his “borderline autistic je ne sais quoi,” while Dallas said it was his “beautiful artistic sensibility” and success.
But, in the age of the Manosphere and manipulative pick-up artists, others have suggested the sexiest thing about Fielder in “You Can See Everything” may be much simpler: he appears to be actively listening to the women in the film. “We’re so emotionally touch-starved collectively that someone who can ask a question and pay attention to the answer is like manna from heaven,” read one such post on X. “Every woman is sexually attracted to Nathan Fielder right now because he made a movie in which he listens to people talking.”
Not everyone is on board the Fielder train, though, with some finding him too awkward or arguing his fans are simply into seducing someone nerdier than them. But “You Can See Everything” has, at the very least, improved Fielder’s sex symbol status given his last major production, the 2023-2024 TV series “The Curse,” saw him playing a character with a micropenis.
Through representatives at A24, Fielder (perhaps understandably) didn’t respond to a request for comment for this story, although he has hinted in the past he wants to inspire lust in his audiences. In 2022, Fielder told the comedian Kate Berlant, perhaps just a tad facetiously, “I can say that my number one goal whenever I’m performing is to get sex.”
That should be music to the ears for new fans like Dallas, who said she broke her rule about speaking to the press for this story. “I’m making an exception because I would love for Nathan Fielder to read this and reach out to me personally and go from there,” she said. “I’m in love.”
