Infinitely Polar Bear
Forbes autobiographically inflected Infinitely Polar Bear stars Mark Ruffalo
as Cameron, a man who suffers from bipolar disorder.
After a breakdown forces him to leave his family and move into a halfway
house, he attempts to rebuild a relationship with his two daughters, and win
back the trust of his wife Maggie (Zoe Saldana). When Maggie decides to go to
business school in New York, they decide that he will move back in and take care
of the day-to-day care for the kids. Due to his mercurial nature, this leads to
a series of quirky, funny, and sometimes frightening episodes.
Infinitely Polar Bear Reviews
“Forbes brings a marvelous warmth and specificity to this story of a
mixed-race family struggling to survive, aided considerably by one of Mark
Ruffalo's richest, most appealing performances.” – Variety
“Forbes has a delicate but unsentimental approach, which gives her film
the same infectious energy that blesses and curses Cameron. The end result feels
good without feeling superficial.” – The Telegraph
