When you see a character with such insane devotion to his chosen endeavor, you know it's all set up for success but at a cost and a sure path to self-destruction down the line. Dr. Alfred Kinsey's life, and life work, is painted in such a fashion. He is bound to hurt the people around him...unless they hang on and wait for a turnaround in some way. To think that it all the events in this movie happened in the 50's is just incredible.
As always, Laura Linney plays the excellent role of Mac (Dr. Kinsey's wife). If there ever was a time to play "stand by your man", this would have been it......unless, you of course remember that Laura played the same persona as the supportive wife in Mystic River!
