The Mastermind (Crime) – Streaming exclusively on MUBI starting December 12
Dir. Kelly Reichardt, 2025
In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment. THE MASTERMIND stars Josh O’Connor (Challengers, La Chimera), Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza), John Magaro (Past Lives, First Cow), Gaby Hoffmann (Transparent, Girls), Bill Camp (12 Years a Slave, Joker) and Hope Davis (American Splendor, Synecdoche, New York). The film made its debut in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and Reichardt has since earned a Best Director nomination and Josh O’Connor for Outstanding Lead Performance at the Gotham Film Awards.

She lives in a shared flat, dislikes her job, and changes friends frequently. He’s a doctor with his life sorted—until they meet and fall in love. Ten consecutive years, with each episode capturing a single night that reveals how love evolves, the series is an honest examination of modern commitment and choosing someone, year after year.
