    Streets of Western Sydney

    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.

    Representing Western Sydney

    "Streets of Colour" delivers a gritty and realistic portrayal of the dangerous underbelly of the city. The film effectively captures the desperation and moral dilemmas faced by the protagonist as he navigates a life of crime. The performances are compelling, particularly the lead actor (Rahel Romahn) who brings a raw and visceral intensity to his role. The film's strong pacing keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. While the story occasionally struggles with predictability, overall, "Streets of Colour " is a gripping and well-executed film that will leave you with a powerful impact. Rated 8/10.

    FANTASTIC & MEMORABLE - LEFT ME AN EMOTIONAL WRECK

    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.

    A multicultural masterpiece!

    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!

    Gorgeous

    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....
