Infinitely Polar Bear Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
Emma Myers
Cynics may scoff at the fact that Infinitely Polar Bear glosses some of the filmmaker's darker memories, but they'll need an ice bucket handy if they intend to avoid its warmth altogether.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Ruffalo 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-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"Infinitely Polar Bear" is a much-needed reminder that the realm of film is still a place to encounter something other than comic-book scenarios.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Forbes' sweetness of tone and wise casting makes "Infinitely Polar Bear" irresistible.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
If the scariness of Cam's illness is portrayed through rose-colored glasses, the realism of the characters shines through in dozens of other small ways.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Deeply personal and filled with love, Maya Forbes' Infinitely Polar Bear is nonetheless a hard movie to watch - hard to watch comfortably.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
The 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.
Newsday
John Anderson
Tarpits of treacle and swamps of sentiment seem to await anyone reckless enough to drive such a vehicle as far as a script meeting. Yet it's largely true. And it rings that way.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Mark Ruffalo...comes off more quirky than anything else: a round peg in a square-hole world who loves his wife and daughters like crazy but sometimes lets his weirdness and/or sadness get in the way.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Forbes' story and her direction of it may seem too sunny for some. But she keeps us refreshingly off-balance throughout, by letting us in on her memories the way she recalls them.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Delivers an effectively heart-tugging family story without sentimentalizing mental illness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Ruffalo does a magnificent job of conveying Cam's charm and undeniable love for his wife and children - as well as the devastating effects of serious, incurable mental illness.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
What "Polar Bear" really lacks is hindsight. It is a little girl's valentine to her father, without the benefit of bittersweet wisdom that comes with age.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The movie offers a situation more than a story. In fact, if it were less sincere, less honest and less tasteful, it could form the basis of a situation comedy.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Infinitely Polar Bear is a good example of how a film that looks on paper like a mess of indie clichs can be redeemed by fantastic performances...even if, ultimately, it remains a mess of indie clichs.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Despite some occasional moments of real sadness and terror, the turmoil in this movie is decidedly on the upbeat. I would love to have seen what Ruffalo could do with this part were he not encouraged to be puppyish and sweet.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
One of those to-be-treasured indie films that revels in real life with all its inherent messiness while sneakily giving your heartstrings a tug.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Ms. Forbes hasn't made a movie about her father's illness; she's made one about her father, who, through hard and weird times, clearly helped give her what she needed so that one day she could tell this story.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Though the film is choppily told and its episodic rhythm never gathers momentum, it contains well-observed moments and astute performances by Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
The usually reliable Ruffalo goes too big and sucks the oxygen out of the rest of the movie.
