Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Director Tanya Wexler plays things broadly at times, but "Hysteria" has good fun with history while coming off far more wholesome than salacious.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
15 Jun 2012
fresh:
Its 95 minutes move along nicely, and Everett - languid as a cat in a sunbeam - makes his too-brief scenes into master classes of comedy.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
14 Jun 2012
rotten:
As a sex-education comedy, "Hysteria" is flaccid, forced and unfunny.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
8 Jun 2012
rotten:
The problem with "Hysteria" is that it keeps patting itself and us on the back for knowing better.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
7 Jun 2012
fresh:
Hysteria never gets too preachy or ponderous, and there's something in the film to educate even the most learned viewer.
