AroView: A crime caper with a romantic heart, this is a perfectly pitched entertainment about an ex-musician turned piano tuner who lends his exceptional hearing sensitivities to the fine art of safe-cracking.
Though the plot requires some suspension of disbelief, it has an engaging, breezy tone, and the fusion of criminal and classical music worlds makes it more memorable than most. British actor Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) brings a vibe to the lead role that also feels fresh, mentored by old pro Dustin Hoffmann, whose avuncular charm hardly ever fails to win you over, and so too does the film.
“A laid-back rom-com crossed with a low-key crime thriller, combined with something more serious — unafraid to ask existential questions about overcoming a handicap that directly impacts one’s art…” ~Peter Debruge, Variety
“What Daniel Roher has done with well-worn forms is to use them as setups, but put them together with a twist in a way that seems fresh and exciting.” ~Andy Howell, Film Threat
“Daniel Roher’s modern noir has an appealing cleverness and lightness of touch.” ~Chris Barsanti, Slant Magazine
