Take Out is a gripping independent drama from acclaimed directors Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsou. The film follows Ming Ding (Charles Jang), an undocumented Chinese immigrant working as a delivery man for a small take-out restaurant in New York City. When smugglers demand immediate repayment of his debt, Ming must gather the money by the end of the day. With no other options, he pushes himself beyond his limits, relying on tips from food deliveries to meet the impossible deadline. Shot with raw realism, this Criterion Collection edition preserves the film’s powerful storytelling and immersive cinematography.
