Edited to add: Okay, it looks like it doesn't get a US release date until next spring. So nevermind.
It will only open here in two weeks, but it was shown in Venice in September. Italian critics had only bad things to say about it, but then the director isn't much loved here - even the reaction to I Am Love was quite cold in Italy - not so, of course, in the US. Even in this case it's possible that the foreign press will be kinder. Tilda seems to have a very good role - written for her, needless to say - but as you said, if ever, it will be for 2016 Oscars.
