Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (FIRST COW, SHOWING UP) directs an unforgettable Josh O’Connor (CHALLENGERS, Netflix’s THE CROWN) 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.

“Where many male directors might find this heroic, Kelly Reichardt finds it deluded and often comical. She can spot a narcissist at a hundred yards.” (NPR)

“‘The Mastermind’ is a slow-burn thriller, directed with a thief’s precision by Kelly Reichardt and anchored by an excellent performance by Josh O’Connor.” (Chicago Reader)

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

“This is Josh 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 film might not work if it starred anyone but Josh O’Connor. He’s one of the great recent finds in world cinema, and an actor who seems to be everywhere now, deservedly so. It’s exciting just to watch him sit and think.” (RogerEbert.com)
