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 [nl], Lieneke Le Roux and Adelheid Roosen [nl].

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]
