The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Asad Almond
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Fantastic, real touch to feelings, one of the best way to feel the family spirit. And you can't stop your tears falling down while watching Mark Ruffalo.. Definitely one of the best movie that you can ever watch if you want to have a real emotional touch to your heart... Be ready to smile and cry at the most unexpected time...

If you love Mark Ruffalo--as I do--this is a must watch film. Everything is excellent: the story, script, casting, locations, costumes.... It is a rare find. I am a parent; I have friends and acquaintances with bipolar disorder. This film tackles those topics effectively and rings true on both fronts. The film is set in the late 1970s and touches on a variety of delicate subject matters for that era: class, wealth and poverty; mental disorders; biracial relationships; education and career opportunities for girls and women. And subjects matters that are still contentious today: disparity in public school districts; career opportunities for working mothers; effective parenting. Overall, this film is fascinating and I highly recommend it.

'INFINITELY POLAR BEAR': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A comedy-drama flick, about a bipolar dad, struggling to raise his two young daughters; while his wife tries to support their family, in business school. The film was written and directed by Maya Forbes; and it's based on her own life experiences (as a young girl, with a bipolar father). The movie stars Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, Imogene Wolodarsky and Ashley Aufderheide. It's an interesting, and well made film study; on mental illness, and how it effects loved ones.The story takes place in late 1970s Boston. Cameron Stuart (Ruffalo) is married to Maggie; and they have two young daughters together, Amelia (Wolodarsky) and Faith (Aufderheide). When Cameron has a bipolar breakdown, he's fired from his job and put in a mental hospital. Maggie moves their daughters into a cheap apartment, in a poor part of town. When Cameron is released from the hospital, Maggie asks him to take care of their kids; while she goes to business school, in New York full time. Cameron agrees, and then struggles to maintain his sanity; while also trying to be a good father.The film is a great examination of bipolar disease; and how mental illness effects family. Ruffalo is exceptional in the lead, and the two young girls are outstanding (as well); especially Wolodarsky, playing Forbes (as a young girl). Forbes' script is clever, and very thoughtful. Her direction is decent, but not anything too memorable. Still, it's a pretty impressive directorial debut.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/b_aLk3J5gh4

"Infinitely Polar Bear" is one different heart touching film that touches your emotions and it proves that life is a struggle, but made possible thru love and family no matter what kind of cards you've been dealt. Mark Ruffalo is in top form as Cam a Lacoste polo wearing shirt a dad who's bi polar and he's recovering from a nervous manic breakdown and his wife the smart and sexy Maggie(Zoe Saldana)enters an out of state college to get her masters degree in hopes of building a better life for all involved. Then Cam agrees to become the top watcher of their cute two daughters and he quickly finds it to be a challenge with good days and bad days. This picture is funny and touching it proves that thru faith and love things will all work out and it shows and proves you can be happy and content with life no matter what kind of cards your dealt with, the movie proves it as the message is simple and clear don't worry be happy.
