Acclaimed Canadian documentarian Daniel Roher comes out of the gate with a corker of a narrative feature, Tuner (A), an absorbing crime/drama/thriller starring Leo Woodall as a gifted piano tuner with hypersensitive hearing who discovers he can use his auditory skills to crack safes, pulling him into a criminal underworld. Dustin Hoffman (great to see him!) plays his mensch of a mentor and Havana Rose Liu a feisty fellow music prodigy and love interest. Roher deftly balances a dangerous heist plot with a character study of a man grappling with his lost musical dreams. Lior Raz plays a menacing crime ring leader, and Tovah Feldshuh provides a lovely performance as part of the protagonist’s found family. Woodall, known from his streaming performance as Essex hunk Jack on White Lotus, is absolutely electric in this star-is-born lead role. Roher brings verve to a story requiring parallel fascination with grace notes of piano pitches and petty crime. The sound work is astounding and matched with a visceral visual style. It’s fast and fascinating as the lead faces mounting moral dilemmas challenging the limits of his superpower. This is delightful counter programming from all the existing summer fare, a stunning original for grown-ups. Seek out this festival hit in limited release starting on Memorial Day weekend.
