Melia C Film Take Out adalah sebuah film komedi-drama yang menarik dan realistis. Meskipun alur cerita agak lambat, film ini berhasil menggambarkan kehidupan imigran di Amerika Serikat dengan akurat. Jika Anda adalah penggemar film komedi-drama, maka film ini mungkin layak untuk ditonton. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Yash B "Take Out" is one of Sean Baker's earlier projects, and even then I can see a lot of the director's signature story elements in full force. This movie takes the viewer on the journey of a really stressful day in the life of a food delivery worker, fighting to pay back a loan. The movie really has a lot of food for thought and I think it tells a human story. By design, the movie can become a bit monotonous and repetitive, but the interactions our hero has with a variety of people feel diverse enough to where I wanted to see where it would go. Overall, it is a quietly powerful movie that creates a fair amount of tension, and shows Baker's skill early in his career when he really didn't have many resources to craft something, and to me, that is tremendously inspiring. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Audience Member wrong accent! tHIS is supposed to be a film about mainland chinese immigrants, but they hired people from taiwan province. so they all spoke with a taiwanese accent. it is like a british guy speaking with a british accent in an US-BASED FILM. I THINK THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO HIRE ANY MAINLAND CHINESE, THAT IS WHY THERE WAS NONE. IT IS LIKE HIRING A WHITE GUY FOR A BLACK GUY'S ROLE. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS FILM SEEMS TO BE REFLECTING THE REAL LIFE OF SOME CHINESE IMMIGRANTS. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member "Take Out" presents the day in the life of a Chinese delivery man, complicated by the need to collect extra tips to pay off a debt. It is unassuming and, by the end, riveting in its normalcy. The story of the making of the film is almost as enticing as the film itself. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A hidden gem! You probably haven't even heard of it but it's not to be missed. The gritty, yet beautiful cinematography, coupled with the seemingly improvised acting and dialogue make for a raw, docu-style film experience that is unforgettable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Take Out is a surprisingly entertaining film that takes you through the average day of an illegal chinese immigrant. The atmosphere of the film is so authentic and real that you just assume the actors actually deal with this trouble daily. The narrarive is about as simple as it gets, you just watch Ming deliver take out to many agitated customers that show very little respect for Ming and his troubles. However, the narrative is thoroughly enlightening, because it generalizes the chinese immigrant experience, but also illuminates it in the perfect light. In short, I reccomend you watch this film merely for the enlightening experience, but you may find yourself grossly entertained.
