In 1970, three people wander into a museum in broad daylight and steal four paintings. When holding onto the art proves more difficult than stealing them, it turns Mooney (Josh O’Connor) is relegated to a life on the run.

“Reichardt has unerringly located the unglamour in the heist….. Utterly distinctive and exciting.” – Peter Bradshaw; the Guardian
