Daniel Roher

In Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as well as for tuning Steinways. With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.

Reviews

“Anchored by a quiet yet compelling performance by Leo Woodall, the film gives a lovely late-career showcase to Dustin Hoffman. The mix of genre elements is a delight, and the jazzy score, fast pace, and strong performances make much of the film sing.”

Jason Gorber
RogerEbert.com

“Writer-director Daniel Roher’s “Tuner” confirms that Leo Woodall is one of our most charismatic young stars.”

Kyle Smith
Wall Street Journal

“Roher’s winsome debut feels more like a throwback to well-written character-driven ’90s dramas like “Good Will Hunting” and “Shine,” or last year’s “Thelma” (which proves the endangered category ain’t dead yet).”

Peter Debruge
