Phoebe Dynevor saves the day for what might have been a formulaic made-for-telly biopic about the ceramicist and feminist trailblazer Clarice Cliff.

For all the contrivances, it's hard to deny the Colour Room's charms.

[An] entertaining feelgood period drama, a bright and upbeat film that perhaps comes over as just a bit strenuously cheerful in places.

This is a pretty conventional biopic for such an avant-garde artist, but Phoebe Dynevor proves she's a versatile actress, and the beautiful costumes + set pieces should please period drama fans.
