“There are shades of Elliot Gould and Gene Hackman in Josh O’Connor’s performance here, a chameleon as much as a chimera, while Alana Haim’s small but crucial supporting performance as his had-enough-of-this-shit wife is further proof of her captivating on-screen presence.”
—Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

“Feels modest when you’re watching it and downright brilliant once it’s had some time to settle in your mind.”
—Alison Willmore, Vulture

Kelly Reichardt (FIRST COW, SHOWING UP, MEEK’S CUTOFF) 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 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.
