A biopic on the infamous Dr. Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson) whose research on human sexuality brought about a firestorm of controversy in post-war America.

It's sad how fast this film was forgotten, even in the year of it's release. The only Oscar it was up for was Best Supporting Actress. It's the middle-child of Bill Condon's filmography, sandwiched between the much better received Gods and Monsters and Dreamgirls. Yet of those three, Kinsey is easily the more important film. Were it to be released today amidst the waves of gay teen suicides and Rick Santorum's war on reproductive freedom, it would likely provoke a firestorm. Well like mama always said: It's never too late to start a revolution! If you haven't seen this film yet, see it. If you have seen it, show it to a friend. Show it to multiple friends! Let the good word spread like VD!
