Jun 03, 2016It's a genuine relief to see actual human stories -- and not only ones that end with a bang -- still being made. This movie is a triumph from beginning to end, with it's biggest strength lying behind Mark Ruffolo's virtuoso/career-best performance, that is only emblematic of the amazing streak of roles this uniquely subtle actor has been giving us in recent years. "Infinitely polar bear" is a wonderful effort from first time director, Maya Forbes who bases the script on her own childhood experience, dealing with a Bi-Polar father. This is, without a doubt, one of the most important and underrated films of the year.Ace T Super Reviewer

Dec 16, 2015"Infinitely Polar Bear" showcases the talents of Mark Ruffalo in a role unlike anything you have ever seen him in before. Dealing with smoking, drinking, and mental issues simultaneously, his wife leaves him until he is fully recovered. Broke and alone, he comes back home to take care of his kids as his ex-wife leaves to New York to attend school. This film really does center around Mark Ruffalo's character and his arcs are incredible to watch unfold. In the end, this film is a very well-written, well-acted, and well-directed character study that definitely deserves it's awards talk/ "Infinitely Polar Bear" is terrific!KJ P Super Reviewer

Jul 07, 2015Infinitely Polar Bear seeks to put a smiley face on dad's affliction. That colors this account as a very shallow production. The lives of Father and his 2 daughters are presented as a series of highs and lows with little insight into any of it. As the filtered recollections of a child, that would explain the lack of sense. Obviously the autobiographical tale is a personal project for Maya. Her husband, Wally Wolodarsky, even co-produced. She presents this earnest drama as a sugarcoated valentine to her father who passed away in 1998. I'll give the chronicle points for heart and sincerity. But Maya Forbes can't seem to make the events in these people's lives seem like anything more substantial than quirky gimmicks. The production is merely a whimsical roller coaster of contrivances designed to tug at your heartstrings. Infinitely Polar Bear comes across more like a sunny sitcom called My Goofy Dad than a thoughtful portrait of a man suffering from a serious mental illness. fastfilmreviews.comMark H Super Reviewer
