TV Guide Magazine
Driver and Renner deliver haunting performances in this story of crime and punishment. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
Well, you can't fault the actors. That must mean it's the fault of the writer and director. Take is a monotonous slog through dirgeland, telling a story that seems strung out beyond all reason, with flashbacks upon flashbacks delaying interminably the underwhelming climax. - 38
New York Post
A woefully earnest indie about a crime and its aftermath. - 30
Los Angeles Times
In the end, Take is too enamored of its time-shifting gimmick and cheap suspense to ultimately have much impact. - 20
Village Voice
Take has the audacity to excuse its bad cinematic habits as figments of both Saul and Ana's imaginations. - 20
New York Daily News
Another preachy, overacted message film that owes its out-of-time structure to "21 Grams" and "Babel," except writer-director Charles Oliver uses the idea of restorative justice. - 10
The New York Times
Subjective or not, the movie is a bore and an eyesore. - 0
Austin Chronicle
A dreadfully misguided movie.
