Critics Consensus

An unlikable protagonist, messy editing, and gratuitous nudity might make audiences ask for their cash back.

[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 6, 2020 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk Fashion photographer turned filmmaker Sean Ellis rips off himself with his offbeat romantic comedy Cashback, which is based on his Oscar-nominated 18-minute short and incorporates all the earlier film's footage. Nov 4, 2020 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall A little too mopey and sexist for its own good. But the cast is engaging enough to keep us interested Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Godfrey D Its a greatest movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Бавуу Э Would-be artist Ben (Sean Biggerstaff) realizes he has an extraordinary way of dealing with the tedium of his dead-end job stocking shelves at a store - he has acquired the ability to halt time and explore the world while the rest of the earth's population remains frozen in place. Ben's unusual talent helps him forget about a nasty breakup with his ex-girlfriend Suzy (Michelle Ryan), but he begins to stop time so often that he may miss out on a new romance with his coworker Sharon (Emilia Fox). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Craig G Loved it, start to finish. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Jim D Beauty and love, with enough comedy to allow us to enter without shame. Sean Ellis shows how true love is beauty and true beauty is love in a fun, deep, and poetic way. The nudity might be a bit much, but much of it is needed and is in the name of art not lust. If you have or have had a broken heart, give Cashback a chance to provide some healing balm. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Ed B Just not worth watching. Storyline poor with no logic or flow. Watched it and then thought why did I watch that pile... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Rob T Quirky comedy romance, with interesting characters. A young artist works nights in a supermarket whilst getting over his ex gf. Great soundtrack. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
