Streets of Colour

Absolutely adored Ronnie's method of storytelling, cast was brilliant, direction terrific, solid central character, film seemed to get better and better with each stanza, I found the end incredibly moving with a glorious overtone of love. The lightheartedness in the dark showed a very powerful message about survival, addressing the need to fit in whilst surrounded by overwhelming racism and undertones addressing the need for more voices to be heard in multicultural Australia, and calling out our quick judgements we make about peoples character. A film that not only must be seen by all Australians, but must be felt and heard by all globally with its universal message!

I thoroughly enjoyed Streets of Colour, This movie taps into social and personal complexities that are not addressed often enough in a modern and changing Australia. As a viewer you find yourself reevaluating and question your position on a number of issues that face a modern cultural sprawl. Racism, post traumatic stress, depression, drug abuse while entwined in this journey are ultimately surpassed by hope, love, faith, and humanity. It was encouraging to see such a diverse and versatile cast Raw and unpretentious. Ronnie S Riskalla is a natural storyteller supported by a humble cast and crew. Congratulations well done.

Streets of colour, a movie thats has it all.

I have been in mount druitt for more 30 years, growing seen this movie reminded what i when through my life.

Born in afghanistan coning to Australia start a new belong and we all want freedom to live and have a chance to live in peace.

In life with difficulties come easy that follow, the movie pointed out the issues and problems one can face.

I like it friendship love respect of other background and value the Australian opportunities one get and been great fully thats is a great message to learn.

Keep up the great work i believe this movie will touch everyone heart.

This film really surprised me, it's got a lot of heart. It's a great little story packed with so much drama I needed tissues constantly. There were so much sad scenes and heartbreaking situations it really spoke to me even though I couldn't relate to the character.

It's an intelligent dive into life in the suburbs that I had no idea about or even cared to think about. It delves into topics that people are scared to discuss such as racism, drug addiction and violence. For the running time it loses marks for rushing through drug montages and trying to cram so much in and I'm not a fan of the C word at all. The characters were all very interesting and felt very real, almost like they existed in the outer western suburbs of Sydney. I was genuinely frightened in some scenes and just made me feel uncomfortable. The film starts with a punch literally a few minutes in and then takes you through a journey. There are so many lovely moments I enjoyed in the film and even some moments of comic relief that left all of us laughing. All the actors were fantastic, and the music was so very touching, soothing and gentle.

There is a lot of talent in this film, most Australian productions have bigger budgets but don't have this much talent wrapped up in one film, The lead, the guy playing Gazza was just terrorizing, the best friend Kyle - just a heartbreaking performance and the guy who plays Vic, a homeless man who steals our hearts as an addicted man whose also part time lawnmower.

The film tries to sell you it's a "gangster" film but it's much more articulate and succinct than that. There's a lot going on in the head of that director because there are so many themes here to explore like death and loss, cultural identity and assimilation. Then there's friendship breakup, family, immigration and even spirituality / religion. Too much for one film? - I'll let you decide.

I'll finish by saying - you won't know what hit you with this film, if you want a really good story better than a lot of these Hollywood tentpole films with big actors and very little story - go and see Streets of Colour - you will walk like I did, an emotional mess and pleasantly surprised. - P. S - Bring lots of tissues.
