The Mastermind

Directed by Kelly Reichardt
Starring Josh O Connor, Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, Bill Camp

Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (First Cow, Showing Up) directs an unforgettable Josh O’Connor in The Mastermind, 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 major 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 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.

Access Information: The lift to the cinema from Storyhouse’s entrance lobby is currently out of order. We’re working to get this fixed as soon as possible. There is not currently a step-free route to the cinema, the Book Pod, the Library Quiet Zone or the Library Meeting Room. In the mean time, if you’d prefer a route with fewer steps to the Cinema, Book Pod, Quiet Zone or Meeting Room, please take the Garret lift (from The Kitchen, next to the Ticket desk) to Floor 1 and walk along the mezzanine to the cinema – this route has seven steps.
