Title: We're All Transformed
Review: Because of Prof. Kinsey's work.That's the premise of this movie. I was fascinated to learn that Kinsey was, by background, a zoologist and self-described taxonomist. I guess he was very unqualified to do the work that he did.In fact, that precise lack of qualification is what allowed him to think outside the box (a worn but apt cliche) and make his scientific study of sex.Our society's commitment to non-judgmental treatment of sexuality derived so much from his work. Our society's fanatical dedication to pleasuring ourselves also resulted. The core question: are we happier? The character portrayed by Lynn Redgrave would certianly say yes. I wonder if all would agree as unreservedly.My only carp: the movie sells Kinsey to such an extent as to exclude other very significant "sexual taxonomists," such as Krafft-Ebbing and Havelock Ellis. Movie makes you think Kinsey was the first on the field with this; he was not.
Is the review positive or negative?
