MCT:December 9, 2008This movie didn't know what it wanted to be and in the end fell flat.
A pretty standard story of boy breaks up with girl is heartbroken finds new girl with some fantasy elements tossed in.
I think stopping time so you can undress women and draw them is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Just because you have a movie full of good looking people doesn't mean you have a good movie. -

''I've always wanted to meet a painter.''
''Why?''
''I think it might have something to do with their ability to see beauty in everything.''
After a painful breakup, Ben develops insomnia. To kill time, he starts working the late night shift at the local supermarket, where his artistic imagination runs wild.
Sean Biggerstaff: Ben Willis
Emilia Fox: Sharon Pintey
Cashback is an artistic film, like its main character Ben, that I have seen recently. It has qualities that blend together and result in unrivaled beauty and imagination.
The Director Sean Ellis usually delivers comedic romances, something which I'm relatively unphased by, but Cashback right from the off showed me something deeper, something bordering on a lesson in life, in love and the failed attempt only to be re-blossomed anew with a new chance. Sequences can be dreamy and surreal and as Ben suffers from insomnia from his heartbreak we see that in his new found job he can stop time to study one thing that he loves above all else. That thing in perspective being the female anatomy, not for it's lustful qualities to any typical man but for its proportionate shapely perfection form that is defined above all else.
Some useful flashback sequences of Ben as a boy help explain why he loves the female body so much, the scene when he sees the beautiful body of a Swedish Student naked on her way back to her room. Then as a curious mesmerized young boy would knocks on her door to return her left behind underwear, then he see's all, his view complete. The supple ripely formed breasts and perfect bottom effortlessly displayed that hell even makes me appreciate a goddess of a woman in all her splendor. To capture that on paper or in any sense, to possess that even, is nothing short of perfection.
Other things we get from Cashback is an array of characters doing some comical stuff in the work place, such as a salami BJ or a maddened race between Barry Brickman and Matt Stevens. Even the addition of a Kung fu Brian or the block headed manager was amusing. This really does make you feel like you're in Sainsburys.
Sean Biggerstaff who I recall in Philosophers Stone really shines as the lead being dreamy and suffering from insomnia.
Emilia Fox who works on the Checkouts, also impresses proving she does pick some very interesting choices in her films.
Michelle Ryan as the volatile Ex was very good also even though her part was a fine example of how obsessed we can be or how hard it is to let go after you have had a break up.
Ellis has crafted and created a film of such grandeur and creativeness that ends up being artistic, stylish and untouchable, the fact that he has made Cashback that is both perfect Art-House material and universal is a beacon to his talent and maturity funneled into vision.
Love is unpredictable like a snowflake and in this sense Cashback throws an unusual tale of love lost and love found again, that really does indeed show love does let you keep the change. -

A lovely surprise of a film, taking a look at the passage of time, the healing one must do after a break-up, and the inherent beauty of the female form. There is graphic female nudity on display, but not in a Porky's kind of way. It's more about the art of the form. Fun, warm, romantic and enjoyable.

MCT:January 2, 2009This was a cool kind of independent type film. I often thought about stopping time and living in a moment for a period of time, and how I would entertain myself while I was there. But instead of being a sci-fi flick like most other movies or shows with the same premise, this is a love story. The only thing that was a little off was when they touched on the fact that there were other people that could stop time. The main character even saw one of these people while he was in control of time. Yet the story did not pursue this possible side story. They just shrugged it off like it was just another piece of information for the viewer to take in and think about.
