Hysteria

Mortimer Granville, a doctor who pleasures women manually in the belief that this is the cure for the malady hysteria, invents the vibrator

Victorian England has always been a great standby for comedy, highlighting often hilarious stuffed shirt behaviours and beliefs. This is a delightful look at a less well known story - well I didn't know who invented this famous sex toy.

This is purposefully light in tone with it's occasional serious moments not always jelling tidily with the comedy. Worth seeing though for the fabulous ensemble cast, albeit whilst always watchable, Gyllenhall sort of seems to be making a different film. Everett as always is great fun.
