## At a glance

- The listing describes Take One as an experimental fiction-documentary hybrid set in New York’s Central Park in 1967.
- The Criterion release is described as including Take Two, with the same premise and different actors, and Steven Soderbergh’s Take 2 1/2.
- Its 2-disc format brings the listed films together in one release.

## Pros

- Includes multiple related films connected to Greaves’s experimental project.
- Two discs and nearly three hours of listed runtime offer a substantial program for viewers interested in film form and process.

## Cons

- The DVD listing specifies NTSC and Full Screen presentation, so buyers seeking a Blu-ray edition or a particular widescreen presentation should confirm the exact release.

## Before you buy

- The listing gives both 1.33:1 and 1.78:1 aspect ratios, and calls the format both Full Screen and Multiple Formats. It does not map each ratio or format to a specific film, so the presentation details remain unclear. The title identifies this as a DVD, not Blu-ray.

## A good fit for

- Viewers interested in experimental documentary and self-reflexive filmmaking.
- Collectors seeking a Criterion DVD with multiple films related to William Greaves’s project.

## Less suited to

- Buyers looking specifically for a Blu-ray edition.
- Viewers who need a single, clearly specified aspect ratio for the complete release.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller portion are one-star and the sample is limited. This supports only a cautious indication of varied buyer satisfaction. It does not reveal which aspects viewers liked or disliked, or establish performance beyond the listed films and formats.
