Streets of Colour

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.

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.

Streets of colours- Directed by passionate filmmaker Ronnie S. Riskalla. Directly depicts the good, bad and the ugly in the society.

Excellent cast and crew and Rahel Rohman has lived the character with his acting skills.

The movie covers racism but also talks about cultural differences, family, loss, love- well written covering the social issues. I can't find anything bad apart from too many dark scenes for my liking.

The passionate display by each and everyone in this movie is commendable. A movie that will definitely touch us and go on an emotional roller coaster.

Well done and congratulations to the entire team for making an interesting, thought provoking movie.

A beautiful film with a talented cast. This is an important story which showcases a diverse subsection of Australia rarely seen on screen. When we ask for diversity and multicultural stories, this is what we are talking about. The pacing, performances and writing are beautiful. It brought me to tears. So glad I watched this one on AACTA TV. Rahel Rohman is a Heath Ledger Scholarship winner, and you can see why, his performance is outstanding, and I hope he wins some major awards for this one. I highly encourage people to support Aussie cinema and check this one out, you won't be disappointed....
