Bo Burnham: Inside?
You're right technically... but i should have said "fictional story" and "plays multiple characters"
I'd say he's got a few different characters - "white woman's Instagram" is pretty clearly meant to be heard from not his own perspective.
The ones that come to mind all have other actors in the beginning or end, or voices from other actors. Locke, Buried, 127 Hours, Cast Away, Gravity...
IMDB tells me All is Lost lists only Robert Redford, but I haven't seen it to be sure.
Wikipedia says All is Lost has only 1 character, but I did find a SPOILER scene that shows Redford by someone else’s arm for only a couple of seconds. I’d figure this is the only scene with anyone else onscreen.

Yeah I was going to mention All Is Lost, it's just one actor the entire movie. And hardly any dialogue, maybe he says a few words during the movie? I really don't remember him saying much of anything at all, mostly just grunts/grumbles when things go wrong. Great movie.
Buried, Ryan Reynolds is the only one on screen (not playing multiple characters, just one), though there are voiced characters from other actors on the phone.
I always forget about that movie, but it's really good.
Not a film, but there’s a DC animated short where Mark Hamill voices every character.
I wouldn’t count anything that isn’t at least arguably as long as a movie. Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out and the SpongeBob episode “Gary Takes a Bath” otherwise would count as well. There’s probably an otherwise qualifiable clone-focused episode of The Clone Wars, too.

„All is Lost“ with Robert Redford
Being john malcovich?
Not quite... but there were a lot of john's...
Malkovich, Malkovich? MALKOVICH!
What was such a weird movie.
Locke (Tom Hardy)?
Any classic Looney Tunes movie.
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) has to get an honorable mention, in which Alec Guinness plays eight significant characters.
Wasn't Tom Hanks the only actor in Castaway? Unless you count the volleyball.
Not for the entire movie. There are scenes before and after his time on the island with other people.
It is the same reason why Moon wouldn't work. Sam Rockwell is playing the main characters, but you have a significant voice acting role and several very minor characters.
That movie is tainted by Kevin Spacey playing the VA for the robot.
There are a lot of good movies tainted by his presence.
There's a movie called "Love" that's about a guy who gets stuck on a space station by himself after nuclear war breaks out. It used to be on Netflix but I've not been able to find it again after I watched it ten years ago.
The Telephone w/Whoopie Goldberg.
