First Reformed: a 2018 film?

The film was first shown at the Venice Film Festival in 2017. Shouldn't it be considered a 2017 film, despite having been released commercially the following year?

Nope, that's the way it's supposed to be. We use the year of the theatrical release instead of the year of the first festival/premiere screening.

Oh ok. I thought it was the other way around.

No worries! I think IMDb uses the premiere, so it can be a bit confusing.
