Synopsis

Niki (Leo Woodall) works as a piano tuner under the mentorship of Harry (Dustin Hoffman), and the two of them bond over their work and their shared love of music. Niki has hyperacusis, an allergy to loud noises, and when Harry falls ill, Niki, desperate to help pay the hospital bills, gets tangled up in crime, discovering that his condition qualifies him as an exceptional safe-cracker. Meanwhile, he develops feelings for Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), an aspiring composer.

Critics Views

“Leo Woodall’s breakout TV roles in The White Lotus and One Day offered a megawatt charisma, but for his biggest film role to date he dims it to a soft glow with gentle performance 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.”
The Guardian

“Daniel Roher’s modern noir has an appealing cleverness and lightness of touch.”
Slant Magazine

“A laid-back rom-com crossed with a low-key crime thriller, combined with something more serious — unafraid to ask existential questions about overcoming a handicap that directly impacts one’s art — Tuner feels like the discovery of the Telluride Film Festival.”
Variety
