A stylish, sharp-witted art-heist drama from one of our favourite directors (Kelly Reichardt), starring Josh O’Connor, Alana Haim, and Gaby Hoffman.

Set against the backdrop of 1970s suburban America, The Mastermind follows JB (Josh O’Connor), a seemingly ordinary family man living a double life as an art thief. When a visit to the Framingham Museum of Art reveals glaring security flaws, JB begins plotting his next big heist, but assembling a crew proves harder than stealing the art itself.

As anti-Vietnam War protests intensify and the suburban dream begins to unravel, JB’s quiet rebellion mirrors a nation in flux. With Reichardt’s signature attention to detail, the film blends dry humour, period-perfect design, and a tension-laced jazz score to deliver a compelling portrait of ambition, deception, and disillusionment.

“Utterly distinctive and exciting” The Guardian

“Kelly Reichardt is one of the greatest directors working in the world today.” Little White Lies
