It had a limited Oscar qualifying run beginning December 21st in New York and L.A.

It's doubtful if it will go anywhere in 2019 except straight to video.

How many people have actually heard of "All is True"? I think it was a horrible idea to release this movie so limited that I don't even think I saw one ad for it. Where did it play? It's wider releasing sometime this year... so I'm not gonna even count it as a 2018 movie.
