INFINITELY POLAR BEAR (2014)

A manic-depressive mess of a father tries to win back his wife by attempting to take full responsibility of their two young, spirited daughters, who don’t make the overwhelming task any easier. — IMDB

Mark Ruffalo is excellent as the bipolar Cameron, the father of two children, in this charming, fun-filled movie. I loved the way in which it shows that aspects of some mental illnesses can be quite positive. Imogene Wolodarsky and Ashley Aufderheide are wonderful as the high-spirited, demanding, but deeply loving kids. It’s a feel good movie that I found moving and uplifting. It’s a directorial debut for Maya Forbes so I look forward to more from her in the future.
