First of all, it’s so good seeing Dustin in a movie. Great performance, and wow he is 88 years old!! What a beautiful movie. A movie nobody talks about, you don’t see advertisement for it. What a shame. Must watch!

INCREDIBLE sound design. The editing is jagged yet rhythmic, just like the wonderful jazz soundtrack. The acting is good, the romance is sweet, and the film starts out hilarious and gets progressively darker with higher and higher stakes.

I’m glad this finally came to the theater near me so I could finally see it. I was pretty excited to check this one out. It’s pretty slow moving throughout but very engaging. I was never bored and I was totally intrigued by the story and watching the way it unfolded. I really like the performance from Leo Woodall. His character was extremely likable and it was easy to root for him. The music sounded excellent. It’s a really great movie from beginning to end. It’s kind of heartbreaking but also very heartfelt. This one didn’t disappoint. * Double Feature at AMC Crestwood 18

A lot of things not great about this movie. Havana Rose Liu's performance was great, the main guy was ok, the rest of the performances were pretty dire. The writing is pretty poor and unimaginative, and the pacing isn't great. The scenes demonstrating the impact of loud noises on the main guy didn't translate well. His performance wasn't gripping and I didn't feel any connection to what he was experiencing. And I think this is purely due to this particular thing not being done very well. Tries to be a bit cool with the music underlining the plot, but it just doesn't work - It's trying too hard to be good, so much so that it turns out not good.

"Tuner" is a crime thriller centered on Niki White, a piano tuner apprentice in NYC living with hyperacusis, a condition that makes him exceptionally sensitive to sound. His heightened hearing catches the attention of a group of criminals who seek to exploit his unique ability to help them crack safes. However, when Niki falls for a talented piano student, his dangerous involvement with the criminal underworld begins to collide with his budding romance, pulling him deeper into increasingly dangerous situations. The film incorporates a number of stylish and visually striking shots that highlight the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of the safes, even as they become targets for theft. It also makes excellent use of sound design, immersing the audience in Niki's perspective and providing a compelling glimpse into what life with hyperacusis might feel like. Every creak, whisper, and distant noise becomes part of the tension, adding another layer to the suspense. "Tuner" establishes itself as a compelling and engaging thriller, maximizing its relatively small cast while maintaining a steady sense of intrigue throughout. With strong performances, effective pacing, and clever use of its central premise, it manages to hit all the right notes.
