Who cares about Toronto... I'm quite sure it will get theatrical distribution pretty much everywhere. It's really good and a deserved winner.

Well hey then. Even better. It's nice to see that Baltasar Kormakur's A Little Trip to Heaven eventually got a R1 release, but his films deserve better on this side of the pond.
