Some movies are pre-ordained “very big deals”. Others slip in through the backdoor, unveiled at film festivals with little advance buzz but incredible post-screening word-of-mouth. That, your movie buff friend insists, will be huge. Which brings us neatly to Tuner, a crime caper that spread like wildfire in Toronto, Zurich and London last year, and which is finally coming to cinemas this May.
Directed by Daniel Roher and starring Leo Woodall – he of One Day, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and the, ahem, nephew and uncle saga of The White Lotus season two – Tuner revolves around a New Yorker with an unusual condition that makes him incredibly sensitive to loud noises. This has led him to his current gig tuning pianos, which feels very small fry until an encounter with a gang of crooks sets him on a new path: cracking safes.
