Cashback

About This Movie

Cashback is this quirky blend of comedy and drama, set against the backdrop of a mundane supermarket night shift. Ben, the protagonist, is an art student navigating the monotony of work while his imagination takes flight. The film plays with time and perception, slowing down moments to explore the beauty in the ordinary. The practical effects, especially during those surreal sequences, are quite impressive for a low-budget film, and they really enhance Ben’s internal world. The performances are sincere, grounding the sometimes whimsical narrative. You get this charmingly offbeat tone that captures the essence of youthful creativity and the struggle against the mundane. It’s a bit surreal, a bit poetic, and definitely has that late-night vibe that lingers with you after watching.
