Hysteria (2011) - GOOD MOVIE
'Hysteria' is the not-exceedingly-accurate story of the man who invented
(of all things) the vibrator, in the midst of Victorian England and the
laughable ideals of the time. As a light hearted comedy, it succeeds
above and beyond the call of duty. As historical document, it lets
itself slip into more comfortable Hollywood territory, but not in any
reproachable way - it's a delightful character romp, getting heaps of
help from the astounding weirdness of the Victorians themselves, if
only in stereotype.
All in all 'Hysteria' is a fun
movie, with good actors, a good story and, if that's important for you,
a great happy end.
