My Take
What I admire most about Sarah Gadon is her refusal to take the obvious path. A Toronto native who studied at the University of Toronto while building her career, she chose depth over flash, becoming a fixture of auteur-driven Canadian cinema rather than chasing Hollywood franchises. Her 2014 Canadian Screen Award felt less like a breakthrough than a confirmation of what careful viewers already knew: she is one of the most quietly magnetic screen presences of her generation. Add her modeling work and her ambitions behind the camera, and you get an artist building something durable. I suspect her best work is still ahead of her.
