Just within three days after its theatrical release on November 26th 2009, A WOMAN GOES TO THE DOCTOR, received a Golden Film for over 100.000 tickets sold and within four days after it’s premiere the film could even welcome more than 200.000 visitors. This is the best openings weekend a Dutch movie ever had.

A WOMAN GOES TO THE DOCTOR is the film debut of Reinout Oerlemans. Reinout Oerlemans is the founder of the international production company Eyeworks (worldwide presence in 15 territories). Twenty years ago, Reinout Oerlemans started his career as an actor. Later on, he also became a TV Host (including Pop Idol), CEO, producer and now also a film director.

A WOMAN GOES TO THE DOCTOR, starring star actresses Carice van Houten and Anna Drijver and actor Barry Atsma, is based on the bestseller ‘Komt een vrouw bij de dokter’ by Dutch author Kluun. It is a shameless report of a man in the prime of his life facing the terminal illness of his wife. Raw, moving and always with a good dose of humor. At the same time, it is an ode to love.

The Golden Film is an initiative presented by the Netherlands Film Festival and the Netherlands Film Fund since 2001. The prizes are intended to encourage the Dutch film industry and motivate the general public to go and see Dutch films. The total number of tickets sold after a film's release determines whether a prize is awarded. The Golden Films are awarded to Dutch full length feature-films and is handed out when a film has drawn in more than 100.000 visitors.

A WOMAN GOES TO THE DOCTOR is produced by Eyeworks Film & TV Drama in collaboration with Inspire Pictures. Benelux Film Distributors provides the theatrical distribution of the film. A WOMAN GOES TO THE DOCTOR is currently running in 116 theatres in the Netherlands.
