Grade: A

If you’re a fan of propulsive crime thrillers like Uncut Gems or musically tinged dramas like Whiplash, you’re bound to have a lot of fun with Tuner, which offers shades of both while feeling fresh and unique on its own. The film follows a piano tuner as he discovers that his unique skill set leaves him well suited not only for adjusting instruments, but also for a potentially lucrative life of crime he never dreamed of. As he descends into a world he may not fully understand, he must grapple with questions of identity and what he’s willing to do for the people he loves.
