REVIEW – A terminally ill actress Leonoor Peacock plays in ‘brittle’ the role of Mouse, who has cancer and is uitbehandeld. Like Peacock itself. Closer to the truth, you can not get as an actor.
Mouse and her sisters (Marnie Blok, Lieneke Le Roux, Adelheid Roosen) struggle with grief and trying to get on the inevitable grip. Leonoor Peacock called the making of the film ‘a great gift, a way to give the meaningless phrase. “
Urgent
With the same actresses, director Mijke de Jong before the family drama “Broos. A possible follow-up, was suddenly urgent by the illness of Peacock. That sense of urgency radiates ‘brittle’ too.

‘brittle’ is beautiful and courageous and will stir many people to tears. At the same time that there is a lot to laugh, which is unexpectedly liberating.
Something mean
