The talky redemption element, however, ultimately feels artificially tacked on.

Stylistically as well as thematically complex.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Take is too enamored of its time-shifting gimmick and cheap suspense to ultimately have much impact.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Obscured by ugly, dark photography, a jumbled script, mumbled performances, and clueless direction that make it impossible to see or hear a lot of what's going on even if you cared, the result is a film of monumental incompetence.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Fresh
Dramatically, however, Take consistently works, and, with such a story, that's an amazing thing.
John Anderson, Newsday
