KINSEY (2004)

BILL CONDON

Plot

When Mr and Mrs Kinsey have trouble consummating their new marriage, they begin looking for help. They finally get it but discover that the medical and sociological professions have a lot to learn about the subject. Insect biologist Alfred begins to teach classes and take surveys in an attempt to help people understand their sexual selves and free their minds in the process. Linney shines as his open-minded and big-hearted wife, Sarsgaard as the curious disciple and Lithgow as Alfred's controlling father. This film presents its subject perfectly - with humour, drama, heart and real interest. Engaging characters and a sensitive story make this an easy watch for those looking for a little more depth. Truly entertaining.
