The G is a dark thriller film written, directed, and produced by Karl R. Hearne, and starring Dale Dickey as a grandmother seeking revenge. It premiered at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival on November 11, 2023, and will be released theatrically in 2024. The UK premiere took place on Feb. 29th 2024 at the Glasgow Film Festival.
After a corrupt legal guardian (Ramsay) puts her in a care home in order to take her property, Ann (Dickey) is a grandmother looking for vengeance with the help of her granddaughter Emma (Denis), who calls her "The G".[2] The film is set on the industrial edges of an unnamed American city.
Hearne, who directed and produced the film, as well as writing it, said the main character Ann was inspired by his own grandmother, "a woman who regardless of her age or situation- refuses to accept that her life is over". The film is also based on well-documented real-world scams that prey on the elderly. The film is produced by 3Buck Productions, whilst levelFILM has acquired all rights for Canadian distribution.[3]
Wendy Ide for Screen Daily praised Dickey's performance and called the film "a blistering winter noir..."[5]Variety called The G "a gender flipping tale of violent revenge...an original and entertaining thriller."[6]The Hollywood News called it "A deeply absorbing film from filmmaker Karl R. Hearne, it reminded me of early Coens... with brilliantly written characters and an outstanding central performance from Dale Dickey... the kick ass anti-hero. Seek it out."[7]
Amber Wilkinson gave the film four stars in her Eye For Film review, praising Dickey's performance and Hearne's direction,[8] and Tamara A. Orlova, writing for Icon London Magazine, wrote, "This film will grip you. It lures you in as a drama before swiftly becoming a thriller combining money, power and violence..."[9] On Feb 29th, 2024 The G had its UK premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival
