Review
Fascinated, yet horrified, we watch sex studies jockey Alf Kinsey ride the horse of deviance down the backstretch of normalcy only to collapse at the line. A gruesome life and marriage lovingly acted by Irish hamhock Liam Neeson (Neeson!) and swedish bombshell Laura La Linney (Congo!) until, like Popeye, they can't stands no more and fall apart like a well-cooked pot roast. Director Condon seems to feel that nothing that is human can be considered not human, and I for the life of me can find nothing with which to refute him. Strong mead, unsweetened by the honeybee of sentiment. Live Strong, deviants!
