Let's talk about sex.

Academy Award-winner Bill Condon explores the life of the pioneer of human sexuality research, Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson). Spanning six decades from his childhood in the early 1900s to his death in 1956, the film turns the microscope on the man whose landmark studies on the sexual behaviours of the common man rocked the world.

The interviewer of tens of thousands, Kinsey subjected his own life and that of his researchers to the same type of analysis that produced his 1948 best-selling book Sexual behaviour in the human male. But while the Kinsey team's focus was predominantly outward, perhaps what they learned about themselves was as great as that which they taught their country.

Theatrical report

Even though Alfred Kinsey is not a very interesting person, he did more to overcome Victorian and Puritan prudery than anyone else. The fact that you can talk about a blow job and be understood by any adult in Australia is all because of him. A case can even be made that the Kinsey report is the foundation for the Free Love/Hippy movement of the 60s. Discuss.
