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.

The Mastermind is a slow-burn thriller, directed with a thief’s precision by Reichardt and anchored by an excellent performance by O’Connor.

This is magnetic, compulsively watchable work from O’Connor, who is shaping up to be one of the finest actors of his generation.
