Favourite movies: Tuner (2025)

 I really enjoyed Tuner. It's an immensely entertaining film that blends genres remarkably well, combining crime thriller, romance, drama and comedy into a story that feels fresh and original. The premise of a piano tuner with extraordinary hearing being drawn into the world of safe-cracking is clever, and the film makes brilliant use of sound to immerse you in his experience. The performances, particularly from Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman, are excellent.

One of my favourite themes in film is an appreciation of music, and Tuner captures that beautifully. Music isn't just part of the soundtrack—it's at the heart of the story and the characters. I also loved the ending. It ties together the film's themes in a satisfying way and finishes on an emotional, bittersweet note that really stayed with me.



Favourite line

  • Niki White: Tuning a piano is about creating harmony out of chaos, and to do that you've got to be comfortable with imperfection.

Favourite scene

  • The bittersweet ending where he plays stunning piano to her. His closing line: "E-flat is out."
