“James, we’ve been told you’re mixed up in this robbery at the museum.” Mubi has revealed one more final trailer for the film The Mastermind, a funky little film by beloved indie filmmaker Kelly Reichardt. Now streaming on Mubi! Catch up with it if you missed it in theaters. It’s her latest feature following Night Movies, Certain Women, First Cow, and Showing Up just before this. “A rebel without a cause.” In a sedate corner of Massachusetts circa 1970, JB Mooney, an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, plans his first big heist. When things go haywire, his life unravels. Josh O’Connor stars as Mooney, a simple man who decides to steal some paintings from his local art museum, but ends up having to go on the run in this calm, quiet, contemplative art heist drama. Also with Alana Haim, Gabby Hoffman, John Magaro, Hope Davis, and Bill Camp. After originally premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, this opened in theaters back in October this fall. Now it’s available for streaming – just at the same time as Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man hits Netflix, also with Josh O’Connor. Both movies are worth watching – Josh is superb.
Here’s the final trailer (+ extra poster) for Kelly Reichardt’s film The Mastermind, direct from YouTube:
