## Fi1m on Kate Dickie

> Kate Dickie plays women the story has already given up on, and plays them without asking to be forgiven. The parts are often small and nearly always dark; the work inside them is physical, exact and unglamorous, and it has been so for two decades.

Kate Dickie does not come on screen to be liked. She is cast, again and again, as a woman something has happened to, in stories that are dark or odd or both, and she plays each one close to the bone: physical, fully committed, with no interest in looking well while she does it. She knows the pattern better than anyone. "I’m very interested in … characters you might not like but don’t know why," she said in 2016. "I don’t get offered light roles very often."

The career runs in phases. She began in Scottish theatre in the mid-1990s, and it was Andrea Arnold who gave her the lead, as Jackie in *Red Road* (2006), the film that made her name in British independent cinema. Television followed, most visibly as Lysa Arryn in *Game of Thrones* (2011–2014), and then the studio pictures: Ford in Ridley Scott's *Prometheus* (2012), a part in *Star Wars: The Last Jedi* (2017). Alongside them she kept turning up in genre films with directors who wanted something particular, as Katherine in *The Witch* (2015) and the Queen in *The Green Knight* (2021). Ralph Ineson has been in three of these films with her, which tells you the sort of company she keeps.

What we have reviewed is the quieter end of that list. In *London Spy* (2015) she is the editor who, in the third hour, is handed Danny's story along with Michaela Coel's journalist, and she is part of the machinery by which a tender love story turns into a conspiracy thriller. We felt the series slip away from us in the fourth hour, when a man explained how the world worked, and none of that is her doing; she does the one thing the plot requires and does it cleanly. In *Dept. Q* (2025) she is Moira Jacobson, one voice in an ensemble we found well matched. Our review did not pick her out. In a series that works because nobody is grandstanding, that is not a criticism.

By her own account it was Arnold, on *Red Road*, who kept telling her to do less, and the habit stuck: she is an actor who subtracts. The cost is the one she names herself. Casting directors see a face that can carry damage and send her more of it, and *Couple in a Hole* (2015) is the kind of title that comes her way while lighter parts go elsewhere. Somebody should put her in a comedy. We suspect the stillness would survive a joke, and we would like to find out.
