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]
