REVIEW: ‘Tuner’

The smashing new film Tuner—which you must go see if you like movies at all—has similarities to so many other things made in the past decade that it might seem derivative. A plot that involves purloining objects from ultra-wealthy people who will never even know they’ve been robbed evokes the Apple TV series Your Friends & Neighbors. A character with a profound hearing problem that makes him an ideal participant in a crime ring brings back memories of the terrific 2017 film Baby Driver. A hyper-intense student musician’s approaching concert is filmed in a manner more akin to a horror movie than a character study, which gives Tuner a haunting and jangly quality akin to Whiplash.
