TUNER (15) 1h 47m MATINEE 3PM

Leo Woodall impresses as a shy piano tuner whose perfect pitch and hearing prove invaluable to a group of thieves. Niki (another superb turn by White Lotus and One Day star Woodall), a piano tuner, lives with hyperacusis – an increased sensitivity to sound. Meanwhile, Harry, Niki’s boss and mentor, is losing his hearing. When Harry is locked out of his safe, Niki discovers a new talent that will both transform and threaten his sedate, quietly uneventful life. The narrative feature debut of Oscar®-winner Roher (Navalny) is an enjoyable, wonderfully understated crime caper with a swirl of romance. Boasting outstanding sound design, kinetic editing and a screenplay that balances smart plot twists with richly drawn characterisation, Tuner balances the thriller edge of Michael Mann’s Thief with the sonic fascination of Whiplash, hitting all the right keys for a great time at the movies.
