The new title is "After the Fall" (That's gonna make it easier to google.
)
And they have a US distribution deal:
...the film is slated for a day-and-date theatrical and VOD release on Dec. 12.

Been working hard everyday on half staff so haven't had a chance to watch. I'll be off next week so will catch up with FOLS I already bought too.

LOL - sounds like me with family over. I have FOLS to watch but my MIL is coming over today so probably won't get to watch it until she leaves on the 30th.

Watched ATF, I think Wes Bentley was a little 'flat' in terms of emotions. Jason was much more colorful and he made you want to know more about Frank's background.
Like one of the reviewers said, the movie may have been better overall if the two switched roles.
Saar is a 'smart' director and editor. You have to pay attention or you may miss some details...
Pretty enjoyable not to mention the scruffy eye candy.

I was roaming around Netflix, and I noticed that they had dates for release on Netflix as well. They have the 2/10 DVD release date (as Char noted re Amazon) and also a streaming release date of March 9, 2015. I suppose this info is more for those of us who regularly use Netflix and do not want to rent movies individually on Amazon streaming services. (Oh, and it's also up on iTunes.)

I've seen it now. Jason is great in it , and his character is really interesting as well. But I didn't get any sympathy for the main character. I though he was a bit of a self righteous jerk in the beginning (How about trying to find out why your son is acting out instead of preaching to him?), and it didn't get better when he started robbing people, even if they weren't very nice themselves. Would have been more interesting if Frank was the main character.
The commentary track is great. Saar Klein is doing the same thing as Jason does some times - joking, and pretending to be serious. Makes JI taste his own medicine. It's very funny.
