In 1880 pioneering doctor Mortimer Granville,sacked from various hospitals for challenging his superiors' out-moded methods,gets a job with Dr Dalrymple,who relieves female patients' frustrations - or hysteria - with pelvic massages which allow orgasm. The handsome young doctor attracts a large female clientele and gets engaged to Dalrymple's studious younger daughter Emily but after the constant massaging brings on a carpal injury he is sacked. Fortunately an enterprising inventor friend has come up with a power operated feather duster which will soon be transformed into a vibrator and make Mortimer a fortune. Along the way he also realises that his heart really lies with Emily's older sister Charlotte,an outspoken suffragette who runs a home for disadvantaged women in London's East End.
Leave your thoughts about Hysteria.
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterIt's a terrible shame that the back-story to one of the most influential personal devices of the last 100 years was told with such puerile pedantry. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterIt's left up to the actors to make the characters resemble actual human beings and they pull this off with varying degrees of success. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayA broad period comedy that squanders a fascinating subject ... by refusing to see it from anything other than a modern, winking perspective. |
| ObserverRex ReedConsidering the subject, ripe with titillating possibilities, it's surprisingly about as sexy as a week-old meat loaf. Tastefully directed by Tanya Wexler, it is a total joy from start to finish. |
| HitFixGeoff BerkshireIt's rare to find a romance of any kind these days where the love interests truly spark, and it's a pleasure to be reminded what that looks like in Dancy and Gyllenhaal's work here. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickEffective acting and Tanya Wexler's direction of a taboo topic (especially given the era in which it's set) cannot save the unbearably choppy and uneven writing of the movie. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's all a good bit of light, inconsequential fun. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongDirector Tanya Wexler plays things broadly at times, but "Hysteria" has good fun with history while coming off far more wholesome than salacious. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertA clever love story, an amusing comedy of manners, and a smart message movie. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyMore titillating than provocative, and lacking wit to make this tale of inventing the vibrator more significant and entertaining as serio-comedy. |
