Amazon.com:
One of the best films of 2004, Kinsey pays tribute to the flawed but honorable man who revolutionized our understanding of human sexuality. As played by Liam Neeson in writer-director Bill Condon's excellent film biography, Indiana University researcher Alfred Kinsey was so consumed by statistical measurements of human sexual activity that he almost completely overlooked the substantial role of emotions and their effect on human behavior. This made him an ideal researcher and science celebrity who revealed that sexual behaviors previously considered deviant and even harmful (homosexuality, oral sex, etc.) are in fact common and essentially normal in the realm of human experience, but whose obsession with scientific method frequently placed him at odds with his understanding wife (superbly played by Laura Linney) and research assistants. In presenting Kinsey as a driven social misfit, Condon's film gives Neeson one of his finest roles while revealing the depth of Kinsey's own humanity, and the incalculable benefit his research had on our collective sexual enlightenment. With humor, charm, and intelligence, Kinsey shines a light where darkness once prevailed. --Jeff Shannon
Description:
Liam Neeson stars as Alfred Kinsey, a man driven by scientific passion and personal demons to investigate the elusive mystery of human sexuality. Laura Linney garnered a Best Actress Oscar® nomination for her compelling performance as Kinsey?s free-thinking wife. This provocative drama dares to lift the veil of shame from a society in which sex was hidden, knowledge was dangerous and talking about it was the ultimate taboo.

Liam Neeson and Laura Linney are superb as Alfred Kinsey and Claire McMillen, a scientist and his understanding wife. Though Alfred Kinsey was a brilliant scientist who collected and catalogued thousands of gall wasps, and wasn't too shabby on the piano, either, even the smartest people have blind spots. One of his was that he couldn't accept that his son was more interested in athletics than science, and he was repeating the pattern of his own father, who also tried to force him into a mold that ...

I originally only saw this movie because I love Liam Neeson, but it turned out to be really great. It was very informational and educational, but at the same time--I know it was heavily biased information, though it still provided a great background for my Psychology class. It was really well done and even though the subject matter was quite...*clears throat*...unconventional, I still give it 5 stars.

Just for "truth in reviewing," I have to state that Kinsey has always been one of my heroes, just as he was a hero to the final interviewee in the film, who blessed him for saving her life. Even while I was a teenager, Kinsey's "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" was on my bookshelf, and had pride of place.
Over the years, details about the man himself have become more public, and it becomes clear that Kinsey was (surprise!) not actually a perfect human being. Well, my own search for ... Read More

The story of Alfred Kinsey and his reports on human sexuality is difficult to comprehend, but director Bill Condon does a great job trying to explain it all. While leaving a few questions unanswered, it is for the most part an excellent film with an excellent cast.
The film portrays Kinsey as an authority on sex, but there is no indication on HOW he became an expert. Suddenly he is giving sexual advice to students and the audience is left to ask how this occurred. And closely related ... Read More
