What to Know

Critics Consensus

Carried by Lily Sullivan's outstanding lead performance and enriched by an expertly administered sense of creeping claustrophobia, Monolith is an eerie thriller that burns slow and lingers.

Matt Vesely’s impressive debut ably stakes out its own territory, not least in the vast distances covered by a single on-screen actor and a handful of vocal performances. Go to Full Review

In the end, the goal was clearly to trap us in the increasingly fractured mind of a single person who increasingly believes what is beyond believable. Mission accomplished. Go to Full Review

Logan D Oct 7 A disgraced journalist (Lily Sullivan) attempts to rebuild her career via a podcast. Her first and subsequent episodes deal with a mysterious brick that many have claimed to received. A wonderful meditation on isolation and responsibility. Sullivan is highly engaging as the only character on screen for the entire runtime. Her nameless character, titled the Interviewer, expresses many emotions throughout the film and Sullivan portrays them well. A slow build atmospheric tense mystery. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. See more Samir N Sep 5 Garbage. Waste of Time. See more Christopher V Jul 13 This movie is about trauma. It’s full of triggers… it’s subtlety is very sublime and when you being to see what’s happening it’s both frightening and comforting. Because we’ve all been through something familiar. See more Brian M May 28 One of the bleakest movies I’ve seen in a while. Very claustrophobic, menacing, and paranoid mystery with plot twists a-plenty. See more MikesReviewsArt n May 22 89% The ending is up for interpretation either she’s surviving and told her what happened or she died and then the evil alien clone told the story and spread it either way it’s gonna get spread the word mouth thing. Interesting mystery as she tries to solve it about the black brick. The Messaging about the past, guilt. The lead gives a great performance effective closed space thriller, love those type of films. See more Lucio Leonardo P Apr 10 Entertainment that was well-received by critics but that I didn't like. It has an originality that arouses our curiosity, maintaining a good atmosphere of suspense for a while, until it becomes tiresome, meaningless, without explanations and with an already "beaten" ending for the podcast talking about a monolith See more Read all reviews
