"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Inevitably, there's a certain flair to how the imagination plays out such real-life scenarios: black turtlenecks and aviators, mopeds speeding down Parisian alleyways to the cool hit of percussion, plans made underneath a harsh, interrogatory light. There's a little Rififi and a little Steven Soderbergh there. Yet Kelly Reichardt's latest is, in a way, the anti-heist film quiet but piercingly observant, as her films (First Cow and Certain Women among them) so often are,"
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across major US issues, from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, and seeks donations to keep journalism paywall-free. Donations support sending journalists to speak to both sides and maintain public access to reporting by asking those able to pay to contribute. The Mastermind coincides with an 80m Louvre jewel theft, highlighting cinematic and real-life theft parallels. Kelly Reichardt's film subverts heist conventions, favoring quiet observation over spectacle, punctuated by Rob Mazurek's jazzy score. Josh O'Connor's James Blaine Mooney behaves as both a petulant child and a small-time, daring thief in 1970s Worcester.
