Cashback

For such a short film (15 minutes), 'Cashback' offered quite a lot.

It is about staff who work the night shift at a supermarket and the stuff they get up to. Then we see what Ben's imagination is to pass time.

There are a few laughs and all the cast do a very good job. The short film is extremely well made and does have a message. The atmosphere builds up as it goes on so it really draws you in.

At 15 minutes, you don't have much to lose, just give it a try. I enjoyed it but I don't think I saw enough to make me want to watch the full length version which was released two years later.

Don't watch if full frontal nudity will offend you.

7/10.

It's quite engaging to watch. quite funny. love story plot is cliche. overall a good movie.

As a photographer, I get this movie. It's about seeing life in it's tiny moments and being able to capture them forever. That's what the main character Ben who's an aspiring sketch/painter shows us throughout the film. That ability that so few have of being able to show down time, even stop it, and find the lines, curves, elegance and refinement of life. This is something shared with great athletes who can slow down their game and see the avenues of winning.

Yes, Ben's obsessed with the beauty of the female form, and you'll see lots of naked bodies, but most of the world's greatest artist have that same obsession. They've been able to capture them and share them with the world as great works of art.

Ben's journey also takes us through his personal struggles of being unable to relate with people in the real world. Something many artist share.

I find this movie a wonderful capsule of how to to find the allure of life. It's right under our noses folks. Just slow down, take the moment in, and let time come to a stop, and it's there.

I dont really know what to think about this short. Its a student in art who studying the female beauty and the relation of time. Pretty. Interesting anyway but it was too short in my opinion. It contains some nudity because the student is interested by feminity. I enjoyed it anyway but too short in my opinion.

When I first watched this movie I couldn't get past the nudity enough to see the art. I watched it again and started to see that the nudes were so perfect they were more like mannequins than anything else. How can a movie about night-fill at a supermarket possibly be any good? Add Sean Biggerstaff , humour, and an outstanding writer/director such as Sean Ellis, and you get the perfect mix. Sean Ellis, in his first attempt at movie making, takes you on a journey that perfectly mixes art ( nudity, lighting, Ben's drawings), with humour. One can easily see that Sean Ellis has a great career ahead of him. One can only hope for more like him still to come! The amount of detail put into such a short amount of time certainly makes the film worthy of all the awards it has received at various festivals. The new one is now finished and ready for distribution. I'm looking forward to seeing the full length film now!
