Jazzy soundtrack. Smart script. Moving medical condition. Sweet love story. Oh, and The Sydney Opera House namechecked as a highly coveted gig on the composing circuit. What’s not to love?

Roher and Ramsey are masters when it comes to the art of regulating narrative tension without sacrificing any of their characters’ complexities. And because of it, their actors reward them with terrific performances.

Roher knows that in crime flicks, as in jazz, pacing is everything: he reveals just enough but allows the audience to fill in the gaps.

Just as the double-act shared by the veteran Hoffman and the upcoming Woodall is a delight to witness, so too are sudden detours into a plausible romance and a compelling crime-caper climax. Highly recommended.

4.5/5

Daniel Roher’s Tuner is an expertly crafted thriller that features a finely honed balance of humour, drama and tension. Leo Woodall makes for an excellent lead, delivering a strong performance as the film’s titular Tuner (of the piano persuasion).

It's a bet both ways in this assured, funny, big-city story that sits somewhere between crime caper and rom-com

Excellent!! I bought tickets because I already LOVE Leo Goodall!! He did not disappoint in this film. He and Dustin Hoffman had the perfect rapport. The film felt believable and relatable and had just the right amount of twists and turns to keep us engaged. I'll watch it again when it's released to the streaming services.

It was a unique story, with superb acting by the female lead and the leader of the safecrackers. The sound effects echoing what the piano tuner was hearing, were innovative.
