Leave your thoughts about Infinitely Polar Bear.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenOne of Mark Ruffalo's most engaging performances. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe movie is a small miracle, lifted by Ruffalo and these two remarkable young actresses. Refusing to soften the edges when Cam is off his meds, Ruffalo is a powerhouse. He and Forbes craft an indelibly intimate portrait of what makes a family when the roles of parent and child are reversed. |
| Willamette WeekAlex FalconeAs is the way in these Sundance movies, there are moments of beauty, nothing much happens, and at one point somebody runs through the woods. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinInfinitely Polar Bear might be called an impressive debut, a slice of life that indicates a sensitive and empathetic presence behind the camera. This might have been a movie Forbes had to make, but it's unlikely to be her best one. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasDealing with mental illness is a matter of managing, day by day, and that knowledge and compassion imbues every frame of the film. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomWriter-director Maya Forbes sets a sweet and compassionate tone throughout as she charts Cameron's trial-and-error growth as a parent. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongRuffalo is generally wonderful at finding the tone and mood of a character and holding to it; here he has to bounce about, but again he latches onto a consistent energy that makes Cameron a singular life force. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonAs the central character in “Polar Bear,” Ruffalo impressively explores the geography of a troubled mind, and makes the journey fascinating. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughThe film boasts two of the best child performances so far this year, and Saldana has never been tougher or more vulnerable. Then there's Ruffalo, who demonstrates again why he may be the best actor of his generation. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe heartfelt effort to convey the volatility of bipolar disorder surpasses the greater narrative impact. |
