While the Vietnam War rages on far away, James Blaine Mooney (a terrific Josh O’Connor), an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, plans his first big heist in the latest caper by Kelly Reichardt (Showing Up, First Cow, Certain Women). While his wife Terri (Alana Haim) holds down a job and his kids are at school, James scopes out a local gallery in his sleepy corner of Massachusetts, planning to steal four paintings by American artist Arthur Dove and hide them at a nearby farmhouse. What could go wrong?
“Utterly distinctive and exciting”
“Josh O’Connor’s best performance”
“Reichardt pulls it off like clockwork: This film is stupendously smart”
Fans and followers of Kelly Reichardt’s unhurried glimpses into the little worlds of her complex characters will be delighted by The Mastermind: an engrossing, offbeat, lowkey heist film about a hilariously vain and totally clueless thief-father-husband, always begging for one last chance, played to hapless perfection by Josh O’Connor. Set to a phenomenal jazz score by Rob Mazurek and hazily lensed by regular cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt, this vision of ‘70s crime, art and floundering is pretty, patient and precise, sparing no detail nor shred of irony.
