Welcome to our Tuner film review, where a piano tuner with painfully sensitive ears discovers his gift works just as well on safes as it does on Steinways. On paper it sounds like a gimmick. In practice, Tuner is one of the warmest, most likeable crime dramas to reach UK cinemas this year, and it confirms what a lot of us suspected after The White Lotus: Leo Woodall is a proper film star.
