The Mastermind
“Kelly Reichardt’s “The Mastermind” Reinvents the Heist Movie” – The New Yorker
“O’Connor is one of the most exciting younger actors to have emerged in recent years, with an expressive breadth and depth that reveal new layers with each performance.” – The New York Times
“This is O’Connor at his finest yet, and The Mastermind is the slinkiest, most satisfying piece of “mood cinema” you’re likely to have seen for a long while.” – London Evening Standard
“The Mastermind is a slow-burn thriller, directed with a thief’s precision by Reichardt and anchored by an excellent performance by O’Connor.” – Chicago Reader
Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (First Cow, Showing Up) directs an unforgettable Josh O’Connor in THE MASTERMIND, her latest Cannes triumph.
In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks.
A brilliant look at the folly of man, THE MASTERMIND also features Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, John Magaro, Hope Davis and Bill Camp. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.
