Review of Infinitely Polar Bear (2014) by Kim H — 08 May 2016

Having manic depression myself I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was so bizarre seeing portions of my life depicted on screen since mental illnesses/bipolar disorder is usually a taboo subject. I thought Ruffalo depicted the real happenings of this illness very well and I could see parts of our lives scattered in the film.

Like any film it is not going to portray an illness completely and since manic depression has such a large variety of affect on people it only portrayed the writers experience with it. Overall, it is extremely well done and I think it sheds light onto the illness for those who do not know how a lot of the population have to fight daily against manic depression.
