Overview
- The film opened in German cinemas on Thursday, July 2 and has drawn early positive reviews that praise its pacing and performances.
- The story follows Niki White, a piano tuner with absolute pitch whose ability to detect fine tones is discovered by a security expert and repurposed to open safes.
- Reviewers highlight Dustin Hoffman’s convincing work as mentor Harry and cite his training at the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music as a source of musical authenticity.
- Critics say the score and sound design act like a character that sets the film’s tempo, with reviewers comparing its music‑driven control of tension to films such as Whiplash and Baby Driver.
- The release is framed as a notable late‑career, music‑authentic role for Hoffman and a first fiction feature for Oscar‑winning director Daniel Roher, while reports so far focus on reviews rather than box office or wider international dates.
