The life of the sex researcher who so livened up the 50s (and inspired a generation of novelists writing racy airport novels) treated with warmth, humour and compassion. There's lots of sympathy for Kinsey, who did much to shed light on sex research (solving a bunch of problems...but with his information, creating a whole bunch of new ones). Liam Neeson is strong as the dogged, near-fanatical Kinsey - watching him with the child molesterer, the time where Kinsey says "I never said you should go do everything" feels a bit tacked on. Wasn't Kinsey's big thing is his non-judgemental attitude? (A bit more conflict about this,making him less a hero, might have made the film for interesting). Very good acting from the support cast. Laura Linney is always so warm and loving that she makes the slightly unconventional Kinsey marriage seem so natural.
