Most importantly it allows you to care about its very human characters and to feel their emotional pain as you watch their life unfold onscreen.

NYC Movie Guru
A deeply affecting portrayal of a struggling Chinese emigre in contempo Gotham.
Variety
Rating: 3/4 --
Relying on ambient sound, a handheld camera and lots of close-ups, Take Out is realistically raw and bleak.

New York Post
[The] endless string of demeaning apartment-doorway interactions with a convincing cross-section of hungry customers is darkly funny, even if it never snowballs into the After Hours-type obstacle course one might hope.

Rating: 4/5 --
The season's freshest, most sympathetic movie about making your way in modern-day Manhattan with a little help from your friends.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
"Take Out" turns out to be quite an infectious watch, tickling surprising laughs from its audience and teaching them to be a little nicer next time they make an order for delivery.

Product Description:
A Chinese-food deliveryman has one day to pay back his debt to the smugglers who brought him into the U.S. in this documentary-style drama. The film follows Ming Ding (Charles Jang) as he makes a feverish round of deliveries in New York City to score the cash. In the process, TAKE OUT sheds light on the often harsh divisions of American life.
