BLURBS:
"Reichardt again hands a stable of great actors...interesting supporting characters. But this is O’Connor’s film and he once again gives a masterful performance in a film that while not a masterpiece is a striking piece of art." - Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
"'The Mastermind' is another precisely turned Reichardt movie: honest, sad, funny and inherently philosophical about our engagement with the world." - Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"It offers the pleasures of being caught off guard both by major twists and by minor details whose startling originality merits discussion but that viewers should be allowed to discover unprepared." - Richard Brody, The New Yorker
