Most films involving one character on the screen that never leaves their house, often wears its welcome during the first 30 minutes but 2022 Monolith He’s not one of them. Successful in creating a voltage with limited occupation and setting, Monolith It tells the story of Paranoia rooted in paranormal without ever fully revealing its voltage source and its disturbing end was an open interpretation.
Although I have my own theories about the secrets leading to the third act revealing in this claustrophobic sci-fi thriller, its goal is not nearly as important as its accumulation that finds that its protagonist trying to spread a large conspiracy brick (literally) can be very consciously part.
Nowadays podcasting
Lily Sullivan depicts an isolated woman known only as interviewer MonolithAnd initially her story is not too unique. An abrasive journalist who has tarnished her own reputation by catching lying on one of her investigation and experienced the kind of career fallout that you would expect, the interviewer is looking for her another big story to help her back her position of a reliable source in her field.
The interviewer who has decided to start a podcast focused on supernatural and other inexplicable events takes a call of a mysterious black brick that makes her obsessed with a spiral when many similar stories that include their sudden appearance, and their ability to get their objects live, changing hallucinations.
As the conversation kicks deeper and deeper MonolithHe comes into contact with the German art collector named Klaus Lang (Terence Crawford), who gathered dozens, not the hundreds, these black bricks, and who urges her to progress in their detection.
Like most science fiction Thriller movies that concentrates on a somewhat unreliable protagonist, Odyssey interviewer Monolith It is becoming increasingly confused, but not in a way that makes you think “I have seen it before”, because the external forces are obviously in the game despite her slowly revealing psychological state.
It does not matter the tropics, in fact it pays off
The interviewer who was caught between the black brick and the hard spot embodies every psychological thriller trope found in MonolithBut ways that won’t pull you out of the movie. Certainly, there are sequences that indicate how the interviewer loses overview of days while recording his findings into the windows and walls of the massive house of her parent in a remote wilderness, and telephone calls from the friends and colleagues who tell her that she is too far after the bizarre rabbit hole in which she believes she is. phenomena.
Although it is easy to assume that the conversation bends the truth Monolith – which sometimes makes a cleverly modification of some of her phone calls – because her podcast becomes a hit and is enthusiastic about the newly found feeling of validation that she desperately longs to maintain the basic level of journalistic integrity as soon as he finds himself drowning in the streams of copying stories.
When she plunges deeper into the secrets, it only depends on when the brick arrives at her house, and causes a vision similar to those they tell her.

Does the interviewer have these visions because they hear so much about them and want to experience them first hand? Or is there anything more ominous in a game that cannot be easily explained in a rational way? Conclusion with the end that is wide open for interpretation, Monolith It will let you scratch your head and visit the bulletin boards to unpack its many twists and turns.
Monolith It starts as your typical generic sci-fi thriller and in many ways it is. But do not be fooled by its narrative framework, because along the whole expectation, which proves that the genre conventions you are all familiar with can still bring interesting results.
