FIne Tuned Chaos - Tuner review by griggs

Sound has rarely felt this dangerous. Tuner turns pitch and pressure into weapons, blending crime, romance, and uneasy humour with unnerving precision. Daniel Roher directs like a man fine-tuning chaos, and Leo Woodall shines as a gifted piano tuner whose painfully sharp hearing both guides and torments him.

The film hums with tension; you can almost feel the vibrations in your teeth. Dustin Hoffman brings weary gravitas, Havana Rose Liu keeps things unpredictable, and the sound design deserves its own billing — I half-wished for earplugs, though not for the reasons you’d expect.

A few notes falter near the end, but the rhythm never slips. Tuner is sleek, stylish, and surprisingly tender — proof that in cinema, the quietest moments often make the most noise.

Complete Rubbish - Tuner review by KB

I lost interest in this film very quickly and remained bored throughout .I was very relieved when it finished .The premise is daft ,as if a piano tuner would get involved with a safe cracking gang. The main issue was that it was poorly scripted and just not involving and hence did not retain my interest .It is a bit of a mess and just didn't hang well together. When you think of some of the films that Hoffman has been in and then he selects this He doesn't do many films these days, so you would think he would select well.

Bum note - Tuner review by cr

This really is hokey load of old codswallop.

Leo who works for "salt of the earth" master piano tuna (whatever that is) dustin hoffman. He takes dustin on his visits to pianos all over neewww yioooookkk. Dustin is in his 80's so complains falls asleep and moans.

Why is he there on work appointments? to prove they are great friends? We also meet his salt of the earth wife who leo woodall - who doesnt impress me as an actor would do anything for to.

Dustin gets ill and leo pays his medicare bills wuuyydjaa beleive it?! Its only $36k!

Leo's got great hearing coz he's a tuna gettit? So bad guys are trying to open a safe in a house leo is working in and wuddjahh beleive it leo opens it as he opened dustins previously and he got great hearing!!

So then he meets hot girl who he never gets the number of but they keep bumping into each other in neew yoik well its a small village innit.

Then coincidence follows unlikely ending where music saves the day!!

I heard such good things about this film but was disappointed. Dumb and highly unlikely.

The sound design reminded me of sound of metal from a few years ago that i didnt like either.

Only for Leo fans.
