This is an intelligent and often moving piece of cinema, that is one of the highlights of 2004. Kinsey is about a scientist's struggle in convincing the world about the scientific approach to sexual behaviour. The performances from everyone around are fantastic. Liam Neeson gives his career-best performance, after his role in Schindler's List (which is truly disturbing). Laura Linney matches him wonderfully as his wife Clara, and Peter Sarasgaard also gives a fantastic performance. And there are also famous faces like Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, John Lithgow and Tim Curry, though they had little screen time to develop properly. The soundtrack is fabulous, very moving and I genuinely mean that, and the film looks stunning. The only other problem with the movie, is it's length, it is a little long for a biographical drama. But the ending of the movie, was the most moving ending since the Elephant Man (The saddest film ever made) and bravo to Lynn Redgrave. This excellently observed film is well worth worthing. 8/10 Bethany Cox
