Frailer (film)

Frailer (Dutch: Brozer) is a 2014 Dutch drama film directed by Mijke de Jong. Initially intended as a sequel to her 1997 film Frail (Broos), the film moves from fiction to documentary. It follows the main character played by Leonor Pauw as she fights cancer in reality. The film also stars Marnie Blok, Lieneke Le Roux and Adelheid Roosen.[1] It was selected to be screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] The Hollywood Reporter praised the "kaleidoscopic portrait of a strong, smart, very loveable middle-aged woman facing death" but found the blurring of reality and fiction rather confusing.[1]
