Where to Watch Take Out
- SirMonkalotFebruary 9, 2026This was so grounded and felt real. I’m not convinced that these were actors. They totally just started following a take out delivery guy around town and filmed him without his consent.
- Doc WormJanuary 12, 2026Charles 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.
