Neither Tegan nor Sara is much given to over-explaining themselves, but Seazynn Gilliland can speak volumes with Sara’s tired glance and Railey Gilliland with Tegan’s flirtatious giggle. The Gilliland sisters match that care with precise performances of their own - they’re first-time actors who were discovered by the Quin sisters on TikTok, although you wouldn’t know it from their naturalistic performances, or their effortless charisma. It certainly notices when Sara stubbornly refuses to look at Tegan because she’s mad, or when Tegan clocks the unwritten hierarchies that guide the school’s social scene. The camera seems to recognize when Tegan or Sara have crushes before they themselves do, lingering on the back of one classmate’s head or leaning into another’s smile. Showrunners Clea DuVall (who also directed the first three episodes that screened at TIFF) and Laura Kittrell have an eye for tiny details that define the girls’ interior arcs and the intersections between them. Sara’s started ditching Tegan in favor of more time with her best friend, Phoebe (Olivia Rouyre), and the more Sara pulls away, the more tightly Tegan seems to cling, prompting Sara to pull away more firmly still. More challenging, though, is the distance that’s sprung up between them over the summer. Practically speaking, they’re starting grade ten at a new school in suburban Calgary, away from all the kids they’ve grown up with.
