In a quiet corner of Massachusetts in the turbulent early 1970s, JB Mooney (Josh O’Connor), an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, plans his first heist at a local museum. 

Not surprisingly, things go haywire quickly and comically—yet it soon becomes clear that this acclaimed new film from director Kelly Reichardt is less about the mechanics of a bungled burglary than about the desperate delusions of its orchestrator and their inevitable effect on his wife and children.

Funny, touching, and deeply humane, The Mastermind recalls the spirit of a modern-day Chaplin. (110 min.)

“Kelly Reichardt steals the spirit of the ’70s with a gorgeously rumpled art-house art heist.” –Jessica Kiang, Variety
