Kinsey and his freethinking wife (Laura Linney) were sexually adventurous and all too open for their time, but they explored the subject with good intentions and in the most disarming way possible. As a result, ordinary people took notice and gave their lives a second look. After two hours with Kinsey, you might do the same.
Extras: An 83-minute presentation of the Kinsey Report in action (featuring cast and crew as the subjects), director commentary, deleted scenes, outtakes, interactive questionnaire, behind-the-scenes look at the Kinsey Institute.
