Billy Crystal's nuanced performance meets very good writing in a tale about uncommon friendships and uncommon redemption. Not a perfect film, but great performances and quick pacing enable the writing and plot to tell an efficient, funny, touching story well.
Not easy to get worked up about a film where the main idea is a statistical survey handled by a scientist who's trying to be unemotional throughout. But a very good film all the same, well constructed, with plausible and engaging dialogue, and a really nice set of performances by Liam Neesen, Peter Saarsgard, and Laura Linney.
There are some mediocre bit performances by John Lithgow (who never really seems to play older characters well, IMHO), and Chris O'Donnell (who hasn't bit off a meaty part yet), but those don't detract substantially from a good plot with excellent subplots. The relationship between Kinsey & his father calcifies his struggle to both become a man with his own identity, and his struggle to overcome sexual barriers to conduct a nation-changing study. A good film indeed, but tough to get terribly aroused by it. Ahem.
Worth seeing. 8/10.
