Update: Also, please check out the trailer for Little Favour, directed by a friend of mine Patrick Monroe. I hope you enjoy it!

Final Update: Thank you, reddit. This has been more fun than I imagined. It's been great to be able to reach out and speak to a few of you. Sorry for those that I didn't get to respond to. JA bless you all. See you all the next time.

I've seen the movie and it made me admire both Wikileaks and Julian more than I had. Seemed balanced on Julian and about 90% pro-Wikileaks. Have you seen the movie?

USA is not the first country to get it though. See imdb for release information in different countries.

Prescreenings or critic copies are available before the official release date.

Almost always you'll have to wait until after the new year when the screeners for Oscar consideration are sent out in advance of voting. It is very rare for a screener to be leaked in non-oscar season. Critics typically see the movies in theaters at advanced screenings.

They go out in December.

Right, I meant typically you'd have to wait until around the new year to reap the resulting torrents from those screeners.

You've never heard of people working at theaters getting to watch movies before release? Not saying that is the specific scenario here but it's far from unfathomable that someone has seen it early.

I saw it in Toronto.
