The Hollywood Reporter
One of the year's most satisfying films. - 90
L.A. Weekly
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. - 88
Rolling Stone
Scrappy, funny, hot-to-trot biopic. - 80
Variety
Lively, sometimes funny and, inevitably, provocative. - 75
ReelViews
This is a fine motion picture with a couple of superlative performances. It is arguably the best, most honest bio-pic of the year. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
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. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
It's a new Neeson as Dr. Alfred Kinsey, all spiky-haired and harried, and he's enormously appealing in the role. - 70
The A.V. Club
For a film about man who spent half his life defying staid convention, Kinsey remains as timid as a choirboy.
