It's the writing that sinks Hysteria, and there's no machine that can alleviate that.
June 08, 2012
As a sex-education comedy, "Hysteria" is flaccid, forced and unfunny.
June 07, 2012
The problem with "Hysteria" is that it keeps patting itself and us on the back for knowing better.
June 15, 2012
Director Tanya Wexler plays things broadly at times, but "Hysteria" has good fun with history while coming off far more wholesome than salacious.
June 07, 2012
Hysteria never gets too preachy or ponderous, and there's something in the film to educate even the most learned viewer.

Given the allure of learning the origins of something as buzzworthy as the vibrator, Hysteria provides just enough pleasures to give it a pass.
October 02, 2012
Don't be fooled by the period costumes and British accents, Hysteria is as obvious and pandering as comedies get.

A lame love triangle, suffragist speechifying and a wee bit of coy tittering regarding ladies' private parts.
October 02, 2012
The film's light-hearted fictionalising of real events combines a mild feminist history lesson with mildly saucy fun.

Its 95 minutes move along nicely, and Everett - languid as a cat in a sunbeam - makes his too-brief scenes into master classes of comedy.
June 01, 2012
The movie also makes all the right noises about female sexual liberation. But its good intentions are undermined by sniggering jokes...
