Cashback Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Scott Brown
Cashback aspires to be equal parts Volkswagen ad and Nicholson Baker's The Fermata, yet compares unfavorably to both.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
Beware films with protagonists depicted as vastly more sensitive than their fellow characters. The result may be a crock like Cashback.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Ellis seems to believe that artists have an enlightened sense of beauty and greater access to it than common folk. And he may be right: He's clearly mastered the skill of convincing art-school chicks to take their clothes off.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
It's no small trick to blend fantasy, slapstick and genuine emotion, but [director] Ellis pulls it off with whimsy to spare.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
As observers we can project our own fantasies onto Ben's, and [director] Ellis enhances this dreamy effect with low-budget ingenuity, like cleverly executing location changes in the same unbroken shot.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Imagine Kevin Smith with a background in poetry and painting instead of comic books and bestiality jokes, and you'll have an idea of what to expect from an exciting new filmmaker named Sean Ellis, whose terrific debut is called Cashback.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie is lightweight, as it should be. It doesn't get all supercharged. Ben and Sharon, despite setbacks, are delighted to be admired by such wonderful partners, and we are happy for them.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A sleek little meditation on beauty, desire, love and time. Now and then, it's fairly sophisticated stuff.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
How ironic that Richard Lester had to go all the way to England to make that chef-d'oeuvre of sex comedies, The Knack... and How to Get It, while Ellis stays home and churns out the British answer to American Pie.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
A very romantic portrait of a young artist as he ponders love, beauty and living in the moment.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
If they taught the film in schools, the class might be dubbed The Art of Boosting the Self and Ragging on Women Through Tired Aesthetics.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I think this filmmaker has a future.
Screentalk
Brian Tallerico
A good writer starts with characters and plot and allows the themes to come naturally from the story. Sean Ellis' script for Cashback is all theme, and it's not that interesting a one to begin with.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[Director] Ellis has rounded up all the actors for this feature adaptation but doesn't add much to the 18-minute original besides a tedious boy-meets-girl.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A flair for language both cinematic and verbal elevates an ordinary coming-of-age comedy of little substance.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Cashback springs from that childhood fantasy of being able to stop time and wander freely among the temporarily frozen. If only writer-director Sean Ellis had done more than use the conceit for a functional romance.
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
Wong Kar-wai on aisle 4 and Michel Gondry on aisle 6, with Kevin Smith as mop jockey at all points in between -- such is the lost-in-the-supermarket milieu of writer-director Sean Ellis's whimsical comedy.
FilmJerk.com
Edward Havens
The first thing one will probably respond to, after the brief rampant nudity, is the exquisite cinematography by Angus Hudson.
Variety
Justin Chang
Slickly charming, genteelly erotic and directed with supreme polish.
