Love is the answer….but sex raises an awful lot of interesting questions.
“A brave and intelligent film” **** Uncut

Liam Neeson, Laura Linney and Peter Sarsgaard star in Kinsey, the fascinating, funny and controversial film about a man driven to uncover the most private sex secrets of a nation.

In 1948, Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson - Schindler’s List, Kingdom of Heaven), a college professor at Indiana University, published his study Sexual Behaviour In The Human Male. The report was the result of years of research by Kinsey and his team of interviewers questioning thousands of people about their sexual attitudes and behaviour. The USA was never the same again.

Before the study was published, many believed that masturbation would make you go blind or insane, that homosexuality was an extremely rare sexual deviation and that sex only took place within marriage. Most people in mid-1940s America simply didn’t talk about their sex lives… let alone ask questions about them. Kinsey’s research blew all these misconceptions out of the water, and his book became a best seller, sparking a debate that still rages today. However, he was not without his critics, and became a target for Congressional witch-hunters.

During the course of his research, Kinsey began to question his own sexuality, and when propositioned by his co-researcher Clyde (Sarsgaard, Garden State, Shattered Glass), he has an important decision to make. His wife Clara (Laura Linney - Mystic River, You Can Count On Me) must come to terms with the possibility that her husband is not the person she thought he was.
Rounded out by a fantastic supporting cast including Chris O’Donnell, Timothy Hutton, John Lithgow and Lynn Redgrave, Kinsey received huge critical acclaim on its theatrical release. The film was nominated for three Golden Globes, an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and four Independent Spirit Awards.
