Oti For Your Reference Podcast Streets of Colour shifts from typical Australian cinema, presenting Ronnie's unique take on racism. Yet, it occasionally stumbles into familiar tropes. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2023 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Ronnie has a distinct voice and Streets of Colour is a complicated love letter to his experiences. This film centres on racism and is able to explore many layers however, in some instances, the portrayal of some characters succumbed to that very theme. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Erin Free FILMINK (Australia) A stunning depiction of an Australia not frequently seen on screen… Rated: 18/20 Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Terrible Acting / Direction and poor casting to say the least. This is a film trying to emulate an American gangsta flick. Failing with a weak storyline, lacking dramatic authenticity. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Paul U Saw Streets of Colour film by director Ronnie S Riskalla & producer Yolandi Franken at its premiere at the Hayden Orpheum cinema. A top little Australian feature film. Gritty and dark, depicting the western suburbs of Sydney. It may be Aussie at its core, but it also represents so many other people and places around the world. The ongoing struggle to live and simply survive. The life hurdles that we all go through and the opportunities to choose a different path. Much more to this film than what it initially seems. There are many clues along the way. A film that makes you question your own choices. Enjoyed it immensely. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Kya S Streets Of Colour is an amazing film that is beautifully made. It made me laugh, it made me cry and most of all, it made me think. The characters are depicted in a natural and realistic manner, which is both refreshing and much needed in Australian cinema. It is a touching, entertaining, thought provoking and worthwhile viewing experience all round. I highly recommended watching this film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Gil B I attended the premiere on Monday night at the majestic Orpheum cinema in Cremorne. Outside the theatre was a sea of photographers snapping away, as the stars of the show arrived in large numbers to greet their fans and other movie enthusiasts. The cinema was just about at capacity as the audience were anticipating something special and as the credits rolled up at the end, it was tangible that the crowd were satisfied by the large ovation the movie received. Streets of Colour was something many could relate to as discrimination and prejudice is everywhere. A great story combined with memorable characters and performances was a recipe that appeased many. Writer and director Ronnie Riskalla incorporated his real life experiences growing up in the western suburbs of Sydney. This movie was heartfelt, genuine and powerful in moments as you couldn't help but feel for the protagonist with everything he was experiencing. I'd thoroughly recommend movie lovers to watch this gripping Australian drama, as I believe many would resonate with it. At times the levels of racism made the audience feel uncomfortable and even angry as Ronnie didn't hold back on portraying confronting racial themes. This well balanced cast really took us on a unique and entertaining journey. I really enjoyed this spectacle and would urge others to watch it too.

Highly Recomended 👌🏻👌🏻 #StreetsofColour #movienight #Brilliant #lovedit Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Roy R 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!
