Kinsey Movie Synopsis & Plot
Academy Award-winner Bill Condon ("Gods and Monsters," "Chicago") explores the life of the pioneer of human sexuality research, Alfred Kinsey (Neeson). Spanning six decades from his childhood in the early 1900s to his death in 1956, the film turns the microscope on the man whose landmark studies on the sexual behaviors of the common man rocked a nation. The interviewer of tens of thousands, Kinsey subjected his own life and that of his researchers to the same type of analysis that produced his 1948 best-selling book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male." But while the Kinsey team's focus was predominantly outward, perhaps what they learned about themselves was as great as that which they taught their country.
MOVIE REVIEW
Liam Neeson delivers his best performance since "Schindler's List" in "Kinsey," one of the best movies of the year. Neeson plays Dr. Alfred Kinsey, the man who revolutionized the study of sex and brought us to where we are today. As he himself says in the film, his life story is a stupid idea for a Hollywood movie, but, amazingly, it isn't.Read our Kinsey movie review »
