I actually saw this many days ago and hadn't found the time to write it up. But here goes.
A film about the invention of the vibrator, it's sort of interesting but the plotting and dialogue are so clunky even this great cast have trouble selling it. It's not nearly as witty or fun or intelligent as it thinks. The fact is though, when we saw it there was a large group of elder women that enjoyed the heck out of it, so I feel like it the poor writing won't matter at all to the target audience who just want a good crowd pleasing film that they can pretend is classy because everyone is in period dress and speaks with British accents.
And besides every time Hugh Dancy smiles nothing else in the world matters anyway.
There was a great movie to be made here. This is an okay movie where subtext has been entirely done away with.
