52 Films by Women- Week 29

So after last weeks serious period drama, We are back in the past but this time for a comedy. One that really needs more people to see it because it is sooooo good.

Hysteria

Dir: Tanya Wexler

2011

Why did this hilarious and brilliant film go so unloved for so long. Mainly because it was marketed as a period rom-com I'd guess. Hysteria follows the ridiculous and sometimes scary history of the creation of the vibrator. The cast is amazing with Felicity Jones, Hugh Dancy, Rupert Everett and a scene stealing Sheridan Smith. Give this movie a chance because its a jem.
