"Stylistically as well as thematically complex, Charles Oliver's ambitious debut feature is heart-stopping." - Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"Dynamic action sequences and intense performances mark Oliver as a director to watch." - Ronnie Scheib, VARIETY

"Renner and Driver make certain intelligent choices, director-writer Charles Oliver makes others, and the result is an intensely honest portrayal." - John Anderson, NEWSDAY

"Director/screenwriter Oliver has a few tricks up his sleeve, and he plays them with a precision. The film has a way of slithering under your skin and staying there. It continues to haunt you for days afterward." - Mark Peikert, NEW YORK PRESS

"Powerful! A carefully woven tale that grabs a hold of you and never lets go." - Dan Deevy, THE CINEMASOURCE

"The range of emotion is extraordinary!" - Neil Conan, NPR's TALK OF THE NATION

"Gripping. Unforgettable. A powerfully moving drama." - Mike Sargent, WBAI RADIO

"Take is part of a rare breed of films that stays with you and leaves you thinking about the whole nature of humanity." - Shona Fair, AESTHETICA MAGAZINE

"Proficiently made and refreshingly subdued in style. When Ana and Saul's respective worlds collide, the film delivers a sharp gut-blow, a nerve-wracking scene in which none of the characters do the right thing." - Leo Goldsmith, INDIEWIRE 

"The tension builds furiously. Very, very well done. I was engrossed until the end." - Jeffrey Lyons & Alison Bailes, REEL TALK

"Oliver has made a quietly observant work. Like Paul Haggis' Crash, Oliver deals with the intersection of catastrophe and happenstance, although Take is a better movie for containing real characters worth caring about." - Eric Kohn, CINEMATICAL

"Take puts you inside the minds of these two characters. This is very mature, intelligent stuff. I felt the damage that she experienced." - Wade Major, NPR’s FILM WEEK

"Oliver also has a keen eye for framing and it is to his credit that he elicits a compelling performance from 9-year-old  Bobby Coleman. Oliver is a name to look out for." - Amber Wilkinson, EYE FOR FILM

"Take is one of those films that won't leave you alone - I can't get it out of my head, my heart, or my vast admiration for its writer-director, Charles Oliver. Beautifully filmed, stunningly acted by Minnie Driver, Jeremy Renner, and the most convincing child I've seen since FINDING NEVERLAND, this loving, terrifying film is worth your nightmares." - Stewart Stern, WRITER, “REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE”

"A taught, gracefully executed story of debilitating grief and ultimate forgiveness." - Ingrid Skjong, GOTHAM MAGAZINE
