The Mastermind
Josh O’Connor, Alana Haim, Hope Davis, John Magaro,
Josh O’Connor charms as bumbling scammer JB Mooney. You can’t help but root for the out-of-work architect when he has an epiphany at an art museum—why doesn’t he just steal some paintings and sell them? It’s a bit audacious, but he is sure that with the right help, he can pull it off. He does, but nothing goes according to plan. An accomplice drops out, the new one can’t keep his mouth shut, the FBI is onto him, the Mob has caught wind of his scheme, and worst of all, his wife is mad at him. Bolstered by a jazzy score and a cast of recognizable faces, Kelly Reichardt’s deconstruction of the heist film will have you constantly wondering who JB lies to more: the people in his life or himself.
