Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Manthast Absolutely amazing
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Kirpianuscus a film saved by its last part. because, except it, "The Piano Tuner" is only a correct film a bout a young man deceived by its failure.good performances, not bad story. the spice - a trap. changing everything. and proposing a portrait of fall and desire, revenge and destiny. the music. and the characters. the dialogue in the cafe. and the confession changing the perspective about Adrien. and the presence in the apartment of an old lady. as the presence of the price of a game who defines its precise rules.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "L'accordeur" or "The Piano Tuner" is a French 14-minute short film from over 5 years ago written and directed by Olivier Treiner. It is one of 2 short films he has made and looking at how many awards it won, this is certainly his most successful work so far. Will he make it big in the next years? We'll see. As for this one here, we have a child prodigy piano player who fails at an important even and decides to act as a blind man then and work as a piano tuner. So far, it does not sound very realistic, so Treiner definitely could have done a better job with the story I guess. But thanks to the decent second half, this one here is not a failure, but a solid watch. The murder plot elevates the story by so so much and actually changes this film sufficiently to the positive that I recommend it. Thumbs down. No real greatness, but a decent little movie. This description also fits the acting in here. Make sure you get subtitles if you aren't fluent in French.
Indie Friendlie We here at Indie Friendlie.com watched this clever and captivating French- language, short film and really enjoyed it.The premise: a piano tuner who pretends to be blind in order to win the sympathy of his clients and is doing well, until he witnesses a murder while on the job.This short film needs to be a feature film, and bring the cast and crew along to the bigger project for the big screen, as performances and direction were clean and on point.We are definitely looking forward to the next film from director Olivier Treiner.
