‘The Mastermind’ review: Josh O'Connor is a perfect fit for Kelly Reichardt’s layered, laconic heist Story – Cannes Film Festival
Reichardt’s previous films, such as her retro westerns Meek’s Cutoff and First Cow, have tended towards sludge and shadows, but her competition closer opens with the golden leaves of a New England fall, slightly faded to the paler golds of an Ektachrome postcard of the era. Around him, the film is peppered with odd cameos and support acts, from the schoolgirl affecting a beret and muttering to herself in French who interrupts the robbery, to the old friends from art college who put him up for the night when he’s on the run, played by Gaby Hoffmann and that undersung treasure, John Magaro. Title: The Mastermind Festival: Cannes (Competition) Director/ s creenwriter: Kelly Reichardt Cast: Josh O’Connor, Hope Davis, Lana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann Sales agent: The Match Factory Running time: 1 hr 13 mins
