Streets of Colour

There are many great Australian films but none better than Streets of Colour in telling the story of places like the Western Sydney with the social implications of multicultural and living in lower social class status.

The film is written well to reflect people's experiences (especially the director's) with racial conflict regardless on what side of the equation someone might be where many can only imagine what it is like to live and deal with an important matter as such.

Great Australian talent and parts played extremely well. Congratulations to the cast and crew on an amazing production. It's a must watch movie!

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.

The film kicks off in the heart of Western Sydney with the visual and sound to take you on a journey through a young man's life.

Dealing with an identical crisis and looking to form his path in life Tez takes us into his world of love,hate, despair, mateship,racism and through an emotional packed journey.

The decisions he makes will impact the rest of his life and the responsibility of being a father makes him question his life choices.

An emotionally packed film with a stunning cast who keep you on the edge of your seat as you join the journey and take a trip down memory lane as you see the familiar areas.

Thoroughly enjoyed the film.

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.
