The Mastermind (12A)
Dir. Kelly Reichardt, US, 2025, 110 mins. Cast. Josh O’Connor, Sterling Thompson, Alana Haim.
Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt directs an unforgettable Josh O’Connor in her latest Cannes triumph. 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, rich in textured detail, is a sly depiction of an era which subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.
