    A touching portrayal
    This film tells the story of a man with bipolar disorder, who has to take care of two children while having unstable mental state.

    I find "Infinitely Polar Bear" a realistic and in depth look into the life of a bipolar man. It shows his over-talkative state, his over- friendly personality and the disorganised home. The interaction between him and his children is touching, especially the fact that they accepted the father's embarrassing behaviour. Even if his behaviour is eccentric, he is portrayed to have the best intentions. The wife's support is also very touching. I find that this film is a positive and supportive portrayal of a man with a serious illness.
