    what if Michael Mann’s “Thief” was kind of a heartwarming yet violent family movie?

    Hell yeah man. Sharp, clever, twisty and charming. Plays like a rom-com at times and then switches gears into a tense and stressful thriller. The balance is perfect. Leo Woodall is amazing. The editing and sound design is so, so good. The cross-cutting sequence between the…

    Tuner is such a unique and deeply moving film - unlike anything I've seen before. At its centre is Niki, played by Leo Woodall, who lives with hyperacusis: a rare hearing condition I'd never even heard of before. It's handled so thoughtfully, never just used as a plot point, but shown clearly so…

    Pleasantly surprised by this early screening, certainly wasn’t expecting something so far in advance! Really, really great film - the trailer has been overplayed to death since January, so it was good to finally, actually watch it. A really intriguing story that retains engagement throughout. Some…

    phenomenal sound design. knew from the start that this film would stand out the most with the sound mixing. going from outside to listening to what niki hears was truly immersive & they nailed it so beautifully. makes you value your hearing so much. we take so many things for granted and the…

    🫎🫎🫎🫎 I think i may have been too critical while watching this in the theater because some of the lines and the acting choices got me. What i mean is i thought the combination of those techniques made a couple scenes too corny and made me lose touch with the film. However, that is my only…

    this movie is phenomenal & special. insane performance & sound direction, intentional w how it uses loud noises, silences & music to convey emotions and it shows Nikki's condition w such tact. its romantic, funny, sad, heartwarming. it felt a bit rushed but loved it overall.

    Ufff.... what a rush... this is a great movie... coming from the structure of a rom-com, passing as a music drama into a heist thriller... it's jus wonderful. The cherry on the top... the one and only.... Mr. Hoffman it's great watching him work again I miss him. Love It.

    Dustin Hoffman iconography was so cute. Brought close to tears multiple times throughout. Not a groundbreaking ending but incredibly satisfying. Performances great throughout. Film of this kind necessitates incredible sound design and this did not disappoint.

    Super sweet film Its a pretty basic three act structure that follows a man who can no longer do the thing he truly loves, so he finds other ways to support the ones he cares for. The resolution FELT GOOD! Finally let us see what he was capable of

    It was a very good movie, the Dolby digital really helps give an idea of how he hears everything so we can understand the character better.
