Preview: Yesterday Was a Lie (2009)

Synopsis:

A black-and-white noir thriller about a female detective who discovers the power to bend reality and to know the truth of all things.

• Poster: C

Review:

Aside from the shadowy figure at the center of the frame, this black-and-white poster is short on creativity and flowing style.

• Trailer: C; C-

Review:

The plot of the film suggests that reality is fragmented within the film itself. The trailer certainly lives up to that fragmentation, bouncing through the story in such a quick fashion that it almost doesn't make any sense. And the second trailer, filled only with critics' plaudits, is woefully unnecessary for a film that was released months ago.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• February 20, 2009
