And other keetchy kitchen cuttlery designed and made in the 1920's royal imperial kingdom of great britain, a biographical drama about one of the first trendsetting women industrial designers that made psychedellic colours become trendy and the number one among wedding gifts of the times, and a collectors item of today.
Its a beautiful made film, sharp and colourfilled but at the same time blurred out in a positive way, with a great deal of positive charged acting makes this a film that is a must see if your within the art crafts, or just a hobby potterer, or a china painter as my mum did(can still smell the american therpentine) many years ago, because this is for your eyes only if you want it to be.
An appraisive thanks to sky studios and.co. That has made such a delightfull story come to life, its gentle, periodical and feministic. The grumpy old man recommends.

We loved this movie about a true pottery pioneer who revolutionised the Potteries and also used to visit my granny every Sunday to grind coffee!
Glad to see local landmarks and buildings were used
Great acting by all the actors.

Really enjoyed the 20s feeling of the movie, the desire for Clarice to do what she loved and ignoring a bit what was around her to get there including the « rules » and what was right at the time. The scene in the modelling workshop are creating that atmosphere between the men and her, their respect of the rules and her creativity.
She was a revolutionary of that after war era and the movie really depicts how different she was by the use of colours or the way she smiles.
Although there is a romance it doesn't take over the story and Matthew Goode is a strong character passionate about his business and being bold. Phoebe Dynevor is a great Clarice Cliff.
Great script, cast and direction.

"No man can appreciate and produce beautiful things whose sense of color is outraged every day by the dirt and soot that covers everything"
Pottery Gazette, 1919.
"The Colour Room" chronicles the life and work of English potter Clarice Cliff. A period drama that links the "romantic" 1920s with the story of a woman capable of overcoming her ingenuity in the face of any adversity.
Starring Phoebe Dynevor, in her film debut. "The color room", interposes Clarice's creativity, with the industrialized and misogynistic world of that time; Added to the charismatic performances, this film has all the nuances that are required to build a quite believable and entertaining story.
"Because of the heart of the story and its loving interpretations, "The Colour Room" is a very fine piece of pottery"

I really enjoyed this film,knowing nothing about the character,or the biographical details.great cast well filmed should get a larger release,but alas bigger budgeted films get presidence at the multiplex.hopefully the more independent cinemas might give it a run if you haven't got the Netflix app.
