Onyeka Igwe writes:
"Contemporary Southeast Asian cinema is where I go when I am looking for films that deftly blur the boundaries of genre, time, and reality. Monisme is an exemplar in the field, a hybrid work which is at times a disturbing watch. Its looming central character is Mount Merapi, an active volcano in Indonesia that potentially threatens human life in the region. But how we encounter Merapi, and how we as humans are to relate to a foreboding natural phenomenon, is considered multiply: through scientific curiosity, spirituality, resource extraction, and myth. For the many is one."
