Entertainment Reviews:
One of the pleasures of Wexler's third feature is how elegantly it sets its story in the period. The costumes, the sets, the locations and the behavior are all flawless...
Chicago Sun-Times
[D]irector Tanya Wexler makes a happy, sexually robust history lesson. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
The complex and fascinating social circumstances that surrounded the creation of what has come to be known as the vibrator hardly gets the realism it's due in this butchered history.

Maggie Gyllenhaal channels Emma Thompson on heat. No sale.

It's all rather sweet in its way, as it treads gingerly round and round its subject. Nicely acted too, especially by Gyllenhaal and Pryce.

[With] subtle idiosyncratic comedic moments...

[A] spirited, a jaunty trifle....It does have its charms.

Product Description:
Set in Victorian London, Tanya Wexler's period comedy HYSTERIA tells the tale of Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy), a young doctor disturbed by the way most hospitals ignore the latest research on germ theory, and still treat patients with bleedings and leeches. After being fired from his most recent job for speaking out on the matter, he ends up in the employ of Dr. Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce) who runs a private practice specializing in treating women who suffer from "hysteria" and come to the doctor for his precise digital manipulations in order to get a release. With the help of Mortimer's best friend Edmund (Rupert Everett) together they create a device that allows these women to achieve the desired result much more quickly. Complicating matters, Mortimer becomes enamored of Dalrymple's strong-willed, feminist-minded daughter Charlotte (Maggie Gyllenhaal). HYSTERIA played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
