"A return of film noir with endless repeat value [that] burrows deep. James Kerwin offers up a magnetic force, not just for the questions posed that must be considered and argued over and analyzed according to ourselves, but also in Kipleigh Brown. Chase Masterson is astounding... from sultry chanteuse to haunting spirit. The performances are intertwined tightly with the expert cinematography by Jason Cochard, the evocative, moody jazz-infused score by Kristopher Carter, the costumes by Sara Catherine Curran, and atmospheric production design by Jill Kerwin. There is brilliance here that demonstrates the best of what independent filmmakers strive to do.

L. Aronsky, Film Threat
"James Kerwin has come up with a fresh and stylish take on film noir. Imagine if Warner Bros. gave Lauren Bacall the chance to play a female version of Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe or the Continental Op. Actress Kipleigh Brown gets that chance. Chase Masterson turns in some amazing work as a sexy torch singer to aid in her case. Deliciously photographed under the creative eye of Jason Cochard, Kerwin weaves us a tale of intrigue and metaphysical darkness. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is a unique, refreshing look at a popular genre. Well worth seeing."

"A brilliantly
executed independent film. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is a soulful and thought-provoking metaphysical journey."
-Tony
Toscano, Talking Pictures
"A lush, moody neo-noir. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is a hit on the festival circuit, winning over audiences and earning accolades. Chase Masterson melded her producer side with her actor side in a thoroughly effective way."
-Sarah
Kuhn, Back Stage
"One of the true joys of the festival circuit, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE offers distinct visual flair and no small amount of intrigue. Chase Masterson's chemistry with Kipleigh Brown is really something special. The real star, though, may be writer/director James Kerwin. Somewhere between a requiem to a lost love and a metaphysical poem, LIE is unquestionably the work of an auteur. Rarely do you come across such a modest production so balanced in heart, soul and mind, not to mention a sizable amount of style. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE absolutely delivers."
-Cal
Kemp, Collider.com
"One of
the most imaginative indie films of the year. This one certainly deserves your attention."
-Tony
Tellado, Sci-Fi Talk
"Like Blade Runner before it, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE manages to meld film noir and science
fiction into a fresh new world unlike anything we've seen before."
-iF
Magazine
"Take a cast with enviable experience, add it to the mysterious ambiance of film noir, then swirl it together with a visionary writer/director and you are bound to get one outstanding film. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is akin to the impact of poetry on the human soul. It is a film to be savored... swirled around the palate like a fragrant glass of wine."
-Nathalie
Taylor, The Village News
"A mindbending story. Kipleigh Brown brings a new edge to the film noir genre."
-Melanie
Addington, Scene
"Soft and rich... dark and foggy... misty and mysterious. Kipleigh Brown is lovely and fashionable... Chase Masterson is a beautiful chanteuse. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE runs the gamut between Blade Runner, The Twilight Zone, and one of those Humphrey Bogart crime films. Beyond its tones of dark and light is a world of distorted reality."
-Rowan
Harrison, Indie Express
"I've seen this flick three times and each time I see it, it gets better. It's like watching Citizen Kane...
as the film reveals itself, it draws you in.

"Kipleigh
Brown is the symbiosis of femme fatale and antihero. YESTERDAY WAS A LIE explores the divine that hides itself in each tone between the black and white of existence."
-Ivan
Maljkovic, World of Noir
"See this mind-bending film. It will blow everything you know about life right out the window."
-Suzy
Soro, Where Hot Comes To Die
"The beautiful and talented Kipleigh Brown exudes
Bacall... Chase Masterson is very sexy. Boldly filmed in black and white, the Kristopher Carter musical
score Kerwin deftly uses only adds to the surreal atmosphere."
-Samuel
K. Sloan, Slice of SciFi
"A
seriously amazing movie."
