A bright, funny, hopelessly endearing film that benefits greatly from the sheer likeability of its actors; an exuberantly charming comedy, but also a surprisingly compelling depiction of a world in transition.

"Tanya Wexler's Hysteria makes its point as a lighthearted comedy about the invention of the vibrator once a woman breaks out into an aria from “La Traviata" after receiving hands-on stimulation from her doctor. Hysteria is not the average romantic comedy, nor is it a biographical account of how the vibrator was invented in London, circa 1880."

I have the feeling it's going to be another intense Summer of movie watching. Several films I'm looking forward to seeing this year. Some of them I can't even explain why I want to see them (like Battleship), but I'm going to regardless.
I'm don't care if I see Battleship but I'm really wanting to see Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I saw the best previews at the movies and everytime I do I just tell myself...I have to see that movie...don't know why.

.London, 1880. Mortimer Granville, a dedicated and forward-thinking young doctor, is struggling to establish his career. While Granville preaches sanitation and germ theory, the old guard of doctors clinging to leeches and hacksaws, scoff at his upstart ideas, and show him the door. Granville's fortunes change when he arrives for an interview at the well-appointed private offices of Dr. Dalrymple, London's leading specialist in women's medicine.
This looks like it might be a fun movie. At first I thought it was going to be one of those boring period pieces but the trailer tells me otherwise.
