KinseyDr. Alfred C. Kinsey revolutionized American sexual morals and values with the publication of Sexual Behavior In The Human Male in 1948 and did it again a few years later with a similar book on the sexual behavior of women. Up until that time, much of the ‘normal’ sexual acts that we today take for granted were seen as deviant, abnormal and, in some cases, evil.

But Kinsey made America and the world realize that masturbation, homosexuality and other sexual practices or preferences were in fact very widespread, and thus, could now fall under the label ‘normal’.

Bill Condon, who directed the fabulous Gods and Monsters, offers a thrilling, informative and extremely entertaining look at the man who became the friend and enemy of so many in a few short years.

Liam Neeson delivers an absolutely brilliant performance as Kinsey and the rest of the cast is a delight to watch.

A very good film.
