Critics consensus

“Alex Gibey's The Inventor declines to outright condemn the actions by Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, but instead provides a comprehensive overview of the scandal that allows viewers to mull over its implications towards the broader Silicon Valley.”

The Inventor was a devastating warning of where these unchecked messianic tendencies lead and the lives they can destroy along the way.
