      Variety

      Slickly charming, genteelly erotic and directed with supreme polish, Cashback is a conventional romantic comedy that plays unconventional games with time and memory.

      Chicago Tribune

      A modest but engaging film that mixes hormonal surges with art-house ingenuity.

      New York Daily News

      It's no small trick to blend fantasy, slapstick and genuine emotion, but Ellis pulls it off with whimsy to spare.

      New York Post

      Imagine "Clerks" director 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.

      The film's structure is a little awkward, almost certainly as a result of its being expanded from 20 minutes to 97.

      Los Angeles Times

      Writer-director Sean Ellis more-or-less successfully expands his Academy Award-nominated 18-minute short to full length, showcasing his talented young cast to good effect.

      Chicago Sun-Times

      The movie is lightweight, as it should be.

      Village Voice

      The movie is too cute by half, made close to unbearable whenever Ben's narration spews glib pseudo-profundities about memory and temporal stillness. But the flaky humor of wage slaves serial-killing time is good, rude fun.
