Directed by Kelly Reichardt, 2025, USA/UK, Rated R, 115 minutes

In suburban Massachusetts, 1970, unemployed carpenter‑turned‑amateur art thief JB Mooney (Josh O’Connor) devises a bold heist: steal four paintings by Arthur Dove. Joined by accomplices (Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, and Bill Camp), JB’s plan quickly unravels, revealing the folly of greed, identity, and escape. A quietly compelling crime drama from Reichardt, the film premiered in competition at the Cannes 2025 festival. “Reichardt’s quietly fantastic The Mastermind is hardly moralistic, but it is a gentle, cautionary tale for ordinary men who try to beat the system.” —Variety
