150 Milligrams (French: La Fille de Brest) is a 2016 French drama film directed by Emmanuelle Bercot.[1] It was screened in the Special Presentations section at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
The film is based on the true story of French pulmonologist Irene Frachon, who became noted for her investigations of the serious side effects and deaths attributed to the diabetes drug Mediator, produced by French manufacturer Laboratoires Servier.[3]
Reception
The Hollywood Reporter's Leslie Felperin cited the "outsize but empathic central performance" by star Sidse Babett Knudsen in the role of Frachon and the director's ability to handle the film's "intellectually rigorous storytelling" and many characters.[3]
