Kinsey

4/5 stars

This is a film based on the life of Alfred Kinsey, the man behind The Kinsey Institute for sex research. This is the Kinsey who published the book Sexual Behavior of the Human Male in the 1940s among much controversy.

The film was surprisingly entertaining — quite funny at times, especially during the first half. Liam Neeson did an excellent job playing Kinsey and portraying the excitement involved in scientific research. I also liked that, unlike De-Lovely did with Cole Porter, this film did not go into the potentially overly sentimental territory of Kinsey’s death.
