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. The film also stars Marnie Blok [nl], Lieneke Le Roux and Adelheid Roosen [nl].
Frailer was selected for screening at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
Among assorted Frailer reviews, 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.
