In 1970s Massachusetts, unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief JB Mooney (Josh O'Connor) is planning his first big heist before his life unravels. The First Cow director leaves Oregon behind for this unexpected genre piece—a departure from her minimalist, bucolic style while maintaining her gentle, poetic exploration of the American experience. Like Sean Baker, she focuses on working-class characters in small-town communities, demonstrating her eclectic range.
