The Mastermind (Baby + Carer)

Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (<i>First Cow</i>, <i>Showing Up</i>) directs an unforgettable Josh O’Connor in <i>The Mastermind</i>, her latest Cannes triumph. A smartly crafted drama, the film offers a sensitive political critique of our times, and a quietly thoughtful examination of what we owe ourselves, as well as our familial and social tribes. With its jazzy score, period detailing and nuanced performances, it’s a cinematic joy from the get-go. 1970s America has witnessed a generational chasm and a society torn apart by Vietnam. But J.B. is oblivious to these cultural changes as he bumbles towards a major art heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. Josh O’Connor is superb as a rudderless everyman out of step with his immediate environs and the country at large, in Kelly Reichardt’s funny, shaggy heist film. A brilliant look at the folly of man, <i>The Mastermind</i> also features Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, John Magaro, Hope Davis and Bill Camp. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.CrimePT1H50M12A2025-10-27
