Kinsey Reviews
For a movie so frank and explicit, Kinsey has a soft spirit...Kinsey is a celebration of diversity; it's about the solace knowledge can bring.

Great movie, but not for kids.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2010
He's a terribly flawed man but instead of soapy histrionics, Condon underlines the tragedy with outrageous humour.

The shame is that the film doesn't convey more mess or danger; its sex and its politics are almost entirely dinner-table-friendly.

Liam Neeson somehow knits Kinsey's qualities together in a likeable human pattern.

Captures authentic truth by refusing to lionize its far-from-perfect subject.

'An invigorating, revealing movie about the transformative power of ideas.'

Condon has a real knack for making biopics breathe.

Sheer dishonesty.

The great thing about Kinsey is the triumphant way it entertains, informs and electrifies us with the highest values of traditional cinema while opening our hearts and minds with the liberating potential of human diversity.

The biopic succumbs to a paint-by-numbers feel as it dutifully touches the highs and lows of a life that can't easily fit within two hours.

One heck of a flick, paying homage to an imperfect man whose impact on history may be substantial, and yet painting him as a clumsy, passionate fellow who's simply trying to figure things out.

I can't imagine the performances, or much else, being improved on.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 24, 2004
It's a new Neeson as Dr. Alfred Kinsey, all spiky-haired and harried, and he's enormously appealing in the role.

Neeson essays a brave and often endearing portrait of Kinsey as an occasionally absent-minded and at times almost dangerously obsessed prof.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 23, 2004
It's partly a scientific brief, partly a song of sex, and it's enormously enjoyable.

[Neeson] makes the movie better than it is by filling in the rough patches with a portrayal so committed, so nuanced, that this may be the role he's remembered for (and which may finally win him an Oscar).
