Take Out

Co-directed by Academy Award winner Sean Baker (Anora) and Tsou Shih-Ching (Left-Handed Girl), two longtime creative partners, Take Out follows an undocumented Chinese immigrant across one frantic day in New York as he attempts to make enough in delivery tips to pay back the $800 debt he owes a loan shark.

"Some of the most authentic neorealism this side of De Sica. This is as exceptional as microbudget cinema gets."
Aaron Hillis, Village Voice
"Take Out shows that the work of America’s premier purveyor of life on the fringes [Sean Baker] was both unflinching and empathetic from the start."
Derek Smith, Slant Magazine

This film is part of the Immigration Nation series.
