5.0 out of 5 stars As good as independent cinema gets, July 14, 2009

I saw this in New York when it opened in June. My girlfriend dragged me. I wanted to see see another movie instead. But it turned out to be a good move for me to see this because the film is well done and very interesting. The acting seems so real it's almost not even like a "movie" but a glimpse into someone's real life. I dug it - it made me really think about that guy's life. Who knew?

Many parts had me on the edge of my seat. It had me when he had to race against time to raise the money. I love race against time sequences in a movie. I will think twice now when i tip the delivery man.

I'm buying this.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great film, August 8, 2010

This review is from: Take Out (DVD)

TAKE OUT is great story-telling in a socially and aesthetically principled style. Shot in a way that keeps us grounded in real lives, TAKE OUT gives us a complex view of one day in the life of a non-documented immigrant trying to make money in NY city delivering take out food. As one would expect, it does a powerful job insisting on the full human-ness of the immigrants in the story. One wishes that every anti-immigrant politician would have to watch and participate in a public discussion of this film -- along with several other important recent films about the lives of immigrants in the US now. TAKE OUT is a lasting piece of art and social commentary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bleak but honest, with genuine emotion behind it..., July 14, 2009

Watching this film, you can see how the directors spent a tremendous amount of time and effort to portray every aspect of the characters lives authentically, from their interactions with each other during work to their down time. Ming Ding may not talking so much about what he's experiencing, but trust me, you feel it. Strongly recommended.
