ABOUT THE FILM

"Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt directs an unforgettable Josh O’Connor in The Mastermind "

"In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney (O'Connor) sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan."
— Watershed summary

"Heist movies run on the mechanics of escape and the thrill of getting away with it, but Kelly Reichardt’s latest detoured story brilliantly turns the genre on its head. In her 1970s-set film The Mastermind, the fallout from the mediocre robbery of a minor-league museum leads to a steadily deepening character study that ruminates on what’s really at stake, and who exactly we’re rooting for."
— Nicolas Rapold, BFI Sight & Sound

"Like so much of Reichardt’s output, The Mastermind feels modest when you’re watching it and downright brilliant once it’s had some time to settle in your mind."
— Alison Willmore, New York Magazine
