Infinitely Polar Bear (2014)

Solid 7, quite possibly close to an 8 star rating movie!

[7/10 · 10 September 2017]

First of all, how did they come up with the title? Was it based on a bi- 'polar' abnormality? Probably! I think this is an excellent movie depicting a family working through 'problems'. All families have some sort of 'problem' or 'challenge' that they either choose to stick with overcoming or give up on. This movie shows us how to relate to some of the problems that families undergo. I recommend this movie to anyone who might be struggling with mental disorders and disabilities because it's a daily and moment-by-moment 'emotional' battle for many in our world. Depression is very common and some people even die from it. What keeps us from that depression is a strong will to focus upon what makes us at our best 'happy' life? Many of us do not know where to put our focus, but if you want to be here in a body, you have to find ways to get through the emotional battles that plague us. This movie is a perfect example that will show you how a family can raise their children and still find some mental and emotional stability through it all. It's a great movie for 'dads' to see and take notice of how 'Mark Ruffalo' handles things. Many dads will resort to alcohol, but that only makes things worse for most because of the depression affect of alcohol. But during his episodes, he never hurts or harms the family, which is the best part of this movie in my honest opinion. I love it because of the 'real life' struggle that affect so many here on earth. Kudos to the writers and if this really was based on a true story by one of the writers, they should have let us know. I don't doubt that is WAS based on a true story, regardless of whether that was known or not.
