Is it playing nationwide?

I haven't seen or heard anything about it except online. I've checked all the theaters around me and none of them are showing it, yet it's been out since November? Can anyone tell me when it'll be nationwide? Thanks.

This is a valid question. The film hasn't even made $1 million yet. It was released in "limited release" on Nov 13 here in the USA, and today (Jan 2) I finally saw it here in Los Angeles - I had to go to the Beverly Cinema to see it - that's where movies go before they go bye-bye. I'm confused as to the marketing /releasing decisions on this film - why it isn't released more widely and why it isn't being marketed more.

It's a shame that it's only playing in 22 theaters and after all the acting accolades it has received -- there doesn't seem to be any further expansion.
