I feel like I missed certain tiny things, but it was three hours long and I wished it was longer. That’s rare, you know?” When asked about potentially collaborating with Fielder, the “Obsession” director revealed he’s already floated the idea to him: “I told him that. I said, ‘Hey!’ … I just put it out in the water.” “You Can See Everything” blurs the line between narrative and documentary storytelling and, as Variety’s chief awards editor Clayton Davis puts it, has “turned the movie landscape topsy-turvy.” Much like Barker’s “Obsession,” the film has left the industry re-examining what kinds of movies resonate with Gen Z audiences — and, more importantly, what drives them out to the theaters.
I’m just a huge fan of what [Fielder] is doing.” Barker should have plenty more chances to cross paths with Fielder on the awards circuit, as both their films continue to earn recognition alongside some of the year’s most acclaimed films.

Seth Rogen, who penned Barker’s Time100 Next profile, already saw the film — and claims that Barker’s sophomore feature is “even better” than “Obsession.” “I’ve seen Curry’s next film, ‘Anything But Ghosts’ — and for those of you who, like me, are uncomfortable with this amount of talent in a person so young, I have bad news … it’s even better,” Rogen wrote.
