Amazon.co.uk Review
A slight but likable British comedy-fantasy with a touch of naughtiness, iCashback/i is an expanded version of director Sean Ellis' Oscar-nominated short film of the same name about a bored supermarket clerk who discovers that he has the ability to stop time. Sean Biggerstaff (from the iHarry Potter/i franchise) is Ben, a lovelorn young man whose chronic insomnia (due to a bad breakup) forces him to bury himself in pointless and repetitive work at a local grocery store. Once there, boredom causes him to believe that he can stop time, and he enjoys long and languid fantasies about undressing and sketching the female shoppers. But reality intrudes in the form of recollections of his troubled past, as well as the lovely presence of fellow clerk Sharon (Emilia Fox), who offers the promise of love in the real world. A gentle and artfully directed independent film, iCashback/i doesn't run very deep in terms of emotion, but the special effects are clever, the cast quirky and amusing, and its premise is an appealing mix of softcore reverie and boyish longing. --iPaul Gaita/i

 Really beautiful film January 6, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a bit of a Marmite movie (you'll love it or you'll hate it); reviews on Amazon and elsewhere on the web have been very mixed which won't help anyone making a purchasing choice. The film is sexy, funny, and sensitive without being pretentious. Personally I found this movie completely spellbinding and unexpected. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be (the box art does advertise a rude comedy and I almost expected a modern "Carry On" type movie). However rather than sitting down to watch the comic capers of a young freshly-dumped student who can freeze time to undress female shoppers, I was treated to a massively fulfilling piece of work in which the nudity is artistic and expressive, and the romantic comedy is a cut above any of the normal Hollywood drivel we get subjected to. This is a brilliant British movie but it won't suit all tastes. Rent it first.
Interesting Brit Fantasy January 5, 2009

Sean Biggerstaff is Ben Wilis, a guy who's just lost his girlfriend. He doesn't quite know what to do, and starts a long period of insomnia. He thinks the best thing to do is work in Sainsbury's at night, after all it's another 8hrs where he could be getting paid to be sleepless. When he discovers Sharon (Emilia Fox) he discovers being able to stop time, and a new lover.br /br /I really enjoyed this film, the timeshifting was cool and the fact he kept going back into his past to give us more insight was also very good. Both Sean and Emilia were the best characters in the movie, with that Kung Fu guy being very funny too. The angst and worry from Ben was convincing too, I thought it was realistic the way things don't seem real when you're an insomniac. br /br /It's definitely worth watching, the colours are vivid and the sets suit the storyline. The DVD also carries a making of, and some deleted scenes.br /br /Worth renting.
I loved it! December 26, 2008

The blurb has probably put quite a few people off watching this as it makes it sound like a channel 5 prono, however the actual movie is far from what is described on the case. br /br /I would recommend it anyway!
A Feelgood Movie November 11, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Unlike JrHartley one of the other reviewers here, I found this movie to have all the things I want from something that will entertain me for a hour and half. It is comedic with fantasy and a romantic element. The soundtrack works very well in the movie and I found myself digging out Frankie goe's to hollywood's "The power of Love" for another listen after seeing it used to such good effect here. I love this movie, in the same way I loved Jimmy stewart in "its a wonderful life" or David Niven in "a Matter of life or death" or even Amalie. Its a wonderful movie that takes you away from your troubles and stress for a while. Oh and I am not a teenager, just someone who loves the ood movie with no explicit sex, volence, swearing and a happy ending. Be a romantic fool and treat yourself to something that will make you feel happier after watching. br /br /
Above average British film September 21, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Cashback initially looks like a carbon copy of Saul Metzstein's 2001 film 'Late Night Shopping', ie supermarket nightshift workers and how acute tedium can be recreational and deadly. But it gets its surprise on with gusto. It takes the theme of chump change job working boredom to a place that Fight Club touches on, except that rather than multiple personalities being formed, reality itself is divided between real time and stopped time.br /br /I'm kinda surprised Saino's let the filmmakers use not just one of their shops for the film, but their brand name too, mentioned more than once in dialogue and seen on worker induction literature in the interview scene. Although having seen a television documentary about Saino's when (then) chief executive Dino Adriano had to do a nightshift at one of the shops (grim: staff weren't allowed to talk to each other), this is probably quite good product placement, in terms of it being a 'fun' place to work.br /br /All in all - a good film and commendable in that it's by a writer-director and doesn't fall into the usual debut writer-director trap of self indulgence (Squid The Whale, 16 Years of Alcohol etc etc).br /br /And respect to Emilia Fox and Sean Biggerstaff for what they did on this film - cos no matter how much directional pyrotechnics a film has, it's only as good as its actors.br /br /br /br /br /br /br /
