The Mastermind

In 1970s Massachusetts, James Mooney, a former art student and unemployed carpenter, turns to art theft. He plans to rob a small museum outside Boston, but complications quickly arise: where will he leave his children during the heist, and how will he sell the paintings? When the plan goes awry, his life begins to unravel. With The Mastermind, Reichardt deconstructs the conventions of the heist movie while paying homage to the classics of New Hollywood.
