The Tuner | 2025 | 15 | 1h 47m | Daniel Roher

“Leo Woodall plays opposite Dustin Hoffman as one of a pair of New York piano tuners. And what a pair they are; they are a real pleasure to watch in an easy, unforced drama that mixes romcom moments with a relaxed crime thriller. When Harry forgets the combination to his safe, Niki discovers he has a skill for safe-cracking, thanks to his sensitive hearing. He also meets student composer Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu) while tuning the piano at a music conservatory. How they get together is nicely done: Ruthie is irritated by the disruption to her work by the arrival of the piano tuner, and she barely acknowledges Niki until she realises he has perfect pitch and can identify every note she plays. The characters do hold surprises even if the plot doesn’t, including Uri, who is not your average mob psycho but a shrewd and psychological manipulator of people. Some of the best moments are the unhurried scenes, Niki and Harry in their clapped out van, shooting the breeze, in a groove of their own.”
