Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
The movie's style is fairly staid, but it's hard to imagine how Neeson could be better, and the subject is handled with taste and tact.

The movie's strength lies in its portrayal of a many-sided genius, as manipulative as he was charming and persuasive, monomaniacal to a fault, generous and sweet yet utterly clueless about the emotional havoc he wrought in the name of science.

Opening too late for the election but still one the year's most politically relevant movies, Condon's earnestly middlebrow biopic is an argument for tolerance and diversity.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli
This is a fine motion picture with a couple of superlative performances. It is arguably the best, most honest bio-pic of the year.

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Apart from some unexaggerated notations about American puritanism in the 1940s and '50s, this is more a work of exploration than a thesis, and Condon mainly avoids sensationalism.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
One of the year's most satisfying films.

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
Scrappy, funny, hot-to-trot biopic.

For a film about man who spent half his life defying staid convention, Kinsey remains as timid as a choirboy.

Lively, sometimes funny and, inevitably, provocative.
