Appraisal: I acknowledge the overall competence and honesty of purpose that went into the making of this movie. It has resulted in a pleasurable spectacle that is also a source of information on some important historical topics. But (and if you are a longtime reader of this blog you must have predicted that a "but" was on its way) there are those of us that expect more from a movie. It is the same story every year: a batch of biopics is released, and they receive awards, and everybody "in the know" go to see them, and as time goes by they are more or less forgotten, going into some back shelf both in the stores and in our minds. The point is, while they are generally representative of a liberal way of thinking in life, they also stand for a conservative way of thinking in filmmaking. That put, "Kinsey" does the job it set itself to do. If I am less than thrilled, maybe it's just me.
