Take Out Ratings & Reviews

  • Doc Worm7d ago
    Charles Jang gives a genuinely heartbreaking performance in Take Out. Filmed with a digital camera in the style of a documentary, you are put lock and step in the life of Ming Ding in a Y2K era NYC. A very raw and bleak slice of life character study that shows demonstrates an early Sean Baker’s penchant for taking small stories and making them feel very very big.
