Plots(1)
Hysteria tells the true story of how, aided by a goofy pal with a fascination for gadgets and electricity (Rupert Everett), young Granville came to invent the first vibrator. Key to this was his association with Dalrymple’s very different daughters: the well-spoken Emily (Felicity Jones) and the outspoken Charlotte (Maggie Gyllenhaal). The result inadvertently contributed to women’s sexual independence and the coming women’s movement. (In depicting Mortimer’s growing partnership with Charlotte, who runs a settlement home, the film also dismantles some Victorian prejudices regarding class.) (official distributor synopsis)
