Frailer (Dutch: Brozer) is a 2014 Dutch drama film directed by Mijke de Jong. Initially intended as a sequel to her 1997 project Frail (aka Broos), the film moves from fiction to documentary as it follows the main character (played by Leonor Pauw) fighting cancer in reality.[1] The film also stars Marnie Blok, Lieneke Le Roux and Adelheid Roosen.
Frailer was selected for screening at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[2][3]
Among assorted Frailer reviews,[4] The Hollywood Reporter praised the "kind of kaleidoscopic portrait of a strong, smart, very lovable middle-aged woman facing death" but found the blurring of reality and fiction rather confusing.[5]
