	Kinsey (Bill Condon, US). Cinema Scope Magazine Online
		Condon circumvents (without thoroughly vanquishing) some of the biopic’s impediments by fracturing chronology in a supremely viewer-friendly fashion.
		This kind of linear movement, a monotonous aspect of almost every biopic, is partially deflected by Condon’s ingenious decision to frame his narrative with re-enactments of the famous (or notorious, for the prudes who still assail the scientist’s legacy) Kinsey sexual histories.
		Foregrounding these interviews allows Condon to employ a strategic frontality: Liam Neeson as Kinsey, the zoologist/entomologist turned sexologist, is positioned as a looming presence who benevolently peers down on his subjects, benighted individuals plagued by sexual repression.

	washingtonpost.com: Film: 'Kinsey' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bill Condon: I would recommend Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy's biography of Kinsey called "Sex the Measure of All Things." The film is accurate though not complete because it's impossible to be absolutely inclusive when telescoping a person's life into two hours.
		Bill Condon: I'm not sure if it was due to "Gods and Monsters" or to what the cast thought of as the important subject matter.
		Bill Condon: Yes, there's definitely reference in the movie to the fact that there were statistical flaws in the methodology.

		writer/director bill condon’s new film quietly reminds us that, in an age when janet jackson’s nipple can provoke a national outcry, kinsey was the first to point out that in matters of sex america is prone to preach one thing and practise entirely another.
		condon elicits delightfully unfussy performances from these two leads and their marriage becomes the heart and soul of the film.
		condon valiantly attempts to freshen up his biopic by approaching kinsey through his ‘sex history’ in intercut, fl and white interviews with his assistants.

	SPLICEDwire: 30 Minutes with Bill Condon
		Condon -- a spry fellow in his late thirties with the enthusiasm of a kid climbing a tree -- has been a fan of Whale's work since his early interest in film, although it was another horror movie that is his first memory of how powerful a medium motion pictures can be.
		Condon: Well, to me the boldest is when she's standing there and they're having their picture taken at Cukor's party and (Whale) is having all those images in his mind.
		Condon: What was cool about her was that she could do that, but stay real enough that when you saw the emotion underneath it all, it was moving.

		Bill Condon has earned critical acclaim for directing and writing the films Gods and Monsters, about openly gay director James Whale, and Kinsey, on the life of the famed sex researcher.
		Condon's parents eventually learned of the love affair and spoke about it at first, but subsequently "it was never talked about," Condon recalled.
		Condon allayed his fears by pointing out that he would also be playing Whale in his forties in flashback scenes.

		Bill Condon would be the first to admit that sex researcher Alfred Kinsey is an unlikely subject for a mainstream film.
		Condon was no less grateful that he'd found the "right person" to play his controversial protagonist.
		Condon notes that not only do the students in "Kinsey's" most shocking lecture scene react with discomfort to those images, but the contemporary movie audience does a bit of squirming as well -- perhaps because it's drawn into the world of 1948 or perhaps because Kinsey's lessons are still relevant.

	From Candyman to Frankenstein, Bill Condon Talks "Gods and Monsters"
		Bill Condon: First of all, I should say that I was totally grateful about getting into Sundance, and that it was a first, great step to expose the movie.
		Condon: I don't think that Lions Gate thinks of it as a tough sale, necessarily, I don't think the approach is that we have a tough sale, but I do think that there are three audiences for the movie.
		Condon: I would say those big scenes only take up like 10 minutes of the movie and were at least a quarter of the schedule.

	Kinsey director talks of going against the grain - The Scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When Bill Condon won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999 for his work on Gods and Monsters, he caught the attention of both critics and audiences, who saw in the writer/director a classically-based artist capable of producing very humane and emotional art.
		Condon's latest project is Kinsey, which stars Liam Neeson as Dr. Alfred Kinsey, who published Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948 and revolutionized the way people thought and talked about human sexuality.
		Condon first tackled the biopic form six years ago with Gods and Monsters, a film starring Ian McKellan as James Whale, the tormented and homosexual director of the original Frankenstein.

	Gods and Monsters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Gods and Monsters, writer-director Bill Condon's fictionalized reconstruction of the last months of the filmmaker's life, finds the 67-year-old Whale still agile and enthusiastic after a series of strokes.
		In one of the most poetic passages of Condon's evocative film, Whale's past and present, reality and creative life beautifully mesh: Clay, as the monster, leads his creator through an expressionistic fl-and-white landscape until Whale comes to rest in a World War I trench beside the bodies of his fellow soldiers.
		Bill Condon also has his principal characters watch The Bride of Frankenstein on television and then gauges their reactions, which range from amusement to terror to derisive laughter.

		Now Condon's back with another biography, telling the story of a man who literally proved that everyone's different, almost as an effort to preempt any attempt to pigeon hole him a second time.
		Condon says he started "Kinsey" five years ago, but as it took time to put together the money to produce the project, he took time in interim to write the Oscar-nominated screenplay for "Chicago".
		Kinsey's work is often credited as being the touchstone of the sexual revolution, but Condon says he sees the debate as ongoing and still relevant.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Kinsey" movie review (2004) "Kinsey" review, Bill Condon, Liam Neeson, Laura Linney
		Writer-director Bill Condon has a talent for hitting just the right tone in his work.
		Condon does not, however, shy away from the unsavory -- like pedophiles and rapists Kinsey encountered in his studies -- or legitimate questions about some of his methodology (including "direct observation," nudge-nudge, wink-wink).
		Condon saves his best writing and directing for last, however, as "Kinsey" has a knockout epilogue that drives home the impact and import of its subject's work on a poignant and personal level.

		Condon said some have questioned whether the Bill conflicts with federal requirements under Title X of the Public Health Services Act and constitutes discrimination against minors.
		One of the requirements for receipt of federal dollars under the program is that the State cannot interfere with the confidentiality of a minor who chooses to be furnished contraceptives by a clinic receiving Title X funds.
		Condon said that a number of federal court decisions have concluded that a state may not impose as a precondition to a minor's receipt of contraceptives that parents first give their consent or be notified.

		As played by Liam Neeson in writer-director Bill Condon's excellent film biography, Indiana University researcher Alfred Kinsey was so consumed by statistical measurements of human sexual activity that he almost completely overlooked the substantial role of emotions and their effect on human behavior.
		Written and directed by Bill Condon, this film recounts the tale of Kinsey's professional career, from his early days as a Harvard researcher looking at gall wasps through his career at Indiana University, first as a biologist, and then as director of the research project and institute that today bears his name.
		Condon's direction and writing is very clever, edging between documentary form at times and dramatic play at others.

	Kinsey (Bill Condon): Liam Neeson Laura Linney Chris O'Donnell Peter Sarsgaard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Writer-director Bill Condon surely thinks so, and his Kinsey is an honorable attempt to portray the life and times of the pioneering sex researcher, whose studies on the sexual behavior of American men and women remain controversial to this day.
		But despite Condon’s good intentions, Kinsey is ultimately no more than a well-crafted, formulaic “message” biopic that sanitizes its subject matter while pretending to be as revolutionary in its approach to sex as its offbeat hero.
		Condon, via his film character, is sermonizing that sexual liberation leads to unforeseen nasty consequences (in this case, infidelity and jealousy), as if Clyde and all the other willing participants in Kinsey's free-sex experimentations were little children unaware of the emotional entanglements of sexual activity.
