This movie is nothing, but boring. The story and direction are truly awful. The acting isn't too bad. The visuals? What visuals? Everything is filmed in the 1940's. Overall, this isn't recommended at all.... Full review

I remember reading about Kinsey during college Psychology class, however, this shed much more light on the man and his work. Certainly, a pioneer in his field if not a flawed one. Liam Neelson, as always, does a excpetional job in... Full review

All of the mental squirming and looking away from the screen that I did while watching this movie, is just what we need to understand what we're doing to each other because of sex. And this was in the '50s! Make... Full review

A fascinating portrait of the contoversial sex researcher, Kinsey (the movie) is a pleasure to watch. Like the man himself, the movie addresses mid-century American sexual mores unashamedly and without judgement while revealing the obsessive singlemindedness that compelled Kinsey's work. With...

Although Kinsey's story is more complex than the basic storyline portraited by the movie, the film does a great job depicting the basic social and personal mecanisms that the researcher set in motion with his work. The movie is a love... Full review

What he emphasizes to excellent effect is that what made Kinsey brilliant had within it the seeds of his undoing personally and professionally.
KINSEY is an intelligent film that is never less than completely humane.

Kinsey (2004)-It's usually a good idea to steer away from biopics with only a surname for a title, but this one's worth your time.
Furthermore, Kinsey confirms something I've suspected for a long time: Being in a hotel room with a naked Peter Sarsgaard (no matter how small his dick) will easily increase your Kinsey Scale rating a point or two.
