"The remarkable Liam Neeson does an affectingly self-effacing turn in the title role."

KINSEY is a little too dry and clinical to be fascinating. There is a fine line straddled here. Kinsey does not enjoy sex or love. He is just presented as a scientist lusting after the process, not the subject. Against directives of stars portraying real people who cannot be manipulative, cruel, or egomaniacs, Kinsey must have been a tough, demanding sexual tyrant. Neeson was certainly right to give his performance this uncompromising slant even though the director tends to deify Kinsey.
