A family film with plenty of heart, Opal Dream draws home the point that sometimes you don't have to see things to believe in them. Set in the Australian outback, the film focuses on Kellyanne (Sapphire Boyce), a sensitive young girl whose only pals are a pair of imaginary friends named Dingan and Pobby. She is so attached to them that her mother sets two extra plates at the dinner table. And when she's at school, she seems oblivious to her schoolmates who mock her as she skips to class "holding" Dingan and Pobby's hands. In an effort to encourage her to make real live friends, her mother takes Kellyanne to a neighbor's pool party while her father agrees to take Dingan and Pobby to the opal mine he has been unsuccessfully prospecting. It is from this point on that the family's fortune turns. To appease his daughter--who insists her father lost her friends--Rex (Vince Colosimo) returns to the mine, only to be accused by another prospector of trying to poach from the latter's reserve. Unable to reconcile herself with the loss of her only friends, Kellyanne's health deteriorates. It is left to her brother Ash (Christian Byers) to make things right by believing in his sister. At times, the viewer is left wondering whether the family--and the town--has been doing Kellyanne a disservice by encouraging her to believe that her imaginary friends are real. Fragile and gentle, she may have benefited from talking to a therapist years ago. Directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty), Opal Dream is uneven and doesn't always flow smoothly. But the child actors are charming and the message is sweet. As Ash says, "No matter what anyone said, they really did live." --Jae-Ha Kim

This movie was not what I was expecting it to be. I was expecting a much lighter movie with a lot of sequences where you see the little girl's make believe world. The closest you get to seeing her imaginary friends is a picture she draws of them.
That being said, it was still a pretty good movie. I would say the movie focuses more on her older brother than anything else and the processes of him (and eventually, the town) to see this girl's imaginary world. By the end I was wishing I had a ... Read More

The LA Times Reviews of this movie described it as "an exceptional family film!" It's more than that ... its an exceptional film, period.
The authors of this movie took something from nothing, an idea about imaginary friends, and wove it into a rich tale that tugs on your emotions and evokes a parabole about coming of age and of moving on from mental illness.

This is a sweet family film. We bought this the other day, and I sat down and watched it by myself before showing it to my children. Because it was a PG rating, I wanted to see if it was the family film it claimed to be. There were only two curse words that I could remember in it, and I let my children watch it that afternoon. It's about a father struggling to survive in Australia with a wife and two children. They are in the lower poverty level of society, and the father owns a opal mine that's gone ... Read More
