Kinsey - (2004)

This film blew me away... The acting is simply phenomenal... Liam Neeson is outstanding as Professor Kinsey, as is Laura Linney as his wife, "Mac" Kinsey. Both should get Oscar nominations for their performances. John Lithgow will likely get overlooked, but his performance is amazing as well.

This doesn't even touch on the story which is the remarkable biopic of the man who changed the way we look at sex education forever... moving it from "Hygene" classes filled with rumors, half-truths and flat-out lies, to making sexuality a scientific study.

The feeling I left with after seeing this movie was not oly that it is so amazing how things are so different that they were before Dr. Kinsey... But how frightening that so many things are very much the same...

Rating: R+
