There he meets a colorful cast of characters, all of whom have their own 'art' in dealing with the boredom of an eight-hour-shift. Ben's art is that he imagines himself stopping time. This way, he can appreciate the artistic beauty of the frozen world and the people inside it - especially Sharon, the quiet checkout girl, who perhaps holds the answer to solving the problem of Ben's insomnia. --© Magnolia Pictures [More]

Reviews for Cashback
Would that the plotline came up to the poster's level of intriguing suggestiveness.
A smart, funny film, one that does a good job of conveying some of the struggles faced by young males who are smart, lacking in self-assurance, and just a bit aimless.
Considering the entire uneventful and unpleasant proceedings, 'cash back' may have been the worst highly suggestive choice of title possible for the audience to contemplate.
note to next short-turn-feature film director: please, please, pretty please, don't stretch the hell out of your beautiful short when you don't have enough stuff to make it to full length, no matter how pretty you can make it look
Le photographe britannique signe un de ces films gravitant en retrait dans l'univers du cinéma tout en suivant une constante bien définie chez certains jeunes réalisateurs
The feature version of a 2004 award-winning British short depicts a sensitive art student who manages to freeze time, allowing him to undress women at his Sainsbury's supermarket and sketch them nude.
Apparently unsure whether to make an arty romantic fantasy à la Amelie or something that might go down better with the readers of FHM, British first-timer Sean Ellis tries to do both.
