To be Continued...?

This movie is a good watch. It has good performances by the 2 kids and the mother (Saldana.) There is some debate about Ruffalo his role, but I definitely enjoyed it. I have to be honest that I am not that familiar with bipolar disorder in real life, so I am probably not the best to ask if he overacted or did or did not display the full palet of manic depression, but I didn't see that. To me he displayed the various parts of manic depression and gloom, energetic moments and hyper-activeness and also the calm and happy moments where he can just enjoy everything as it is. So as far I can say he was subtle and covered all the aspects in his act.

I was disappointed about the ending though. The story steadily progresses, but it never fully got to that conclusion you are waiting for. It just stops at some point, which is a bit anticlimactic. This might be intended to make a message that there is no end to his struggle, but it did left me feeling a bit out of the loop. A 'to be continued' that will never be followed up.
