Kinsey

DramaRomance118 min

Alfred Kinsey turns the study of sex into a public flashpoint as he interviews Americans about their most private lives and compiles the research that became Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. Liam Neeson is Kinsey, an Indiana professor whose clinical project pushes past taboo and into his own marriage and assumptions about human behavior. Laura Linney and Peter Sarsgaard are part of the close circle around him as the work moves from campus research to national controversy, tracing how one scientist’s questionnaires collided with mid-century American ideas about sex, morality, and secrecy.
