Streets of Colour (2023)
Heartfelt and authentic
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'd really enjoyed this spectacle and would urge others to watch it too.
