What the critics are saying...

Early reviews are coming in...  This one's from Tony Toscano of the syndicated Talking Pictures television series.

----------------------

Yesterday Was a Lie is a small film big on being ethereal. Writer/Director James Kerwin takes us on a magical mystery tour into a world which is noir and almost familiar.

The film immerses itself in a Bogart-like quality, except the hero is a blonde bombshell named "Hoyle," played by Kipleigh Brown, who's looking for answers.

The question she's asking is what we all ask: "Why am I here; what is the meaning of life and love?"

And as the film unwinds and Hoyle sets off on her journey, she meets up with "Singer," played by Chase Masterson, who may or may not be just another traveler on this road to enlightenment.

Yesterday Was a Lie is a small budget film, but ends up as a soulful and thought-provoking metaphysical journey.

Kerwin masterfully mixes up a neat blend of The Maltese Falcon and even elements of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in this brilliantly executed independent film.

Yesterday Was a Lie is well worth seeking out and taking in.
