If there’s one thing that the 2022 thriller Monolith makes clear, it’s that oftentimes it’s not what you see but what you can’t explain that gets under the skin. Directed by Matt Vesely, this slow-burn sci-fi thriller steers clear of flashy effects and loud action scenes to drive its narrative. Taking things up a notch, Vesely takes the minimalistic approach, relying on a one-woman performance from Lily Sullivan to keep things interesting.
Lily Sullivan Carries ‘Monolith’ With a One-Woman Show Under normal circumstances, isolation does funny things to the human mind, but Monolith does so much more with it by creating an extra layer of tension. At the center of it all is actress Lily Sullivan, who embraces the challenge of a one-woman performance with impressive skill. In the absence of any co-stars to share the screen, she pieces the entire narrative together, amping up the unease at every turn.
