Despite the coming of Kinsey and company, sex was paltry, ominous, and perverse at the movies.

No Dicking Aroundnew
Bill Condon, faithful to several texts about Alfred Kinsey, brings the man to life in this affectionate, warm, and surprisingly funny movie -- at least, till the hordes of righteousness descend upon the famous sex researcher like locusts on a fertile field.

Liam Neeson Gives Haunting Performance as Sex Expert in Kinseynew
The biopic Kinsey lays out just how much we didn't know before the Indiana professor began his explosive explorations. The film engrossingly shows how Kinsey's research resisted the forces of ignorance and moralism, breaking ground with the publication of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948 and its feminine follow-up in 1953.

No Dicking Aroundnew
Condon's movie, faithful to several texts about Kinsey, may be set decades ago, but it feels as relevant as tomorrow's news. In the 1940s, Professor Kinsey fostered a discussion that has turned into a shouting match. No longer startled by his discoveries, we're now aghast at the implications.

Take It All Off, Alfrednew
Biopic tells us too much about America's sexual habits, too little about what motivated its erotic expert.
