Full Plot Details

A young Australian girl living in a small rural mining town prefers the company of her two imaginary friends, Pobby and Dingan, to real children. She ends up looking awkward during social gatherings and her only tangible friend is her older brother, Ashmol, who finds Pobby and Dingan annoying and often makes fun of them because he's embarrassed by his sister's behavior. Kelly-Anne's and Ashmol's father is an opal miner trying to earn a living, and their mother is busy trying to fit in as a member of the community. Both parents agree that it's time for Kelly-Ann to move on and leave her fantasy world behind - but when they force her to grow up too fast with a hasty decision, Pobby and Dingan are killed and Kelly-Ann falls into a grief-stricken illness. The only one who can set things right is Ashmol.

Movie Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - 9/10 by Ken FoxThe film's sweetness derives primarily from the relationship between Ashmol and his unusual sister, and draws much of its richness from the unfamiliar and fascinating world of opal prospecting.
L.A. Weekly - 9/10 by Ella TaylorRush screaming from anything that announces itself as "a movie for children and grown-ups of all ages." Slight and shamelessly saccharine, Opal Dream is devoted to the proposition that it takes an Australian-outback village to validate the imaginary friends of a blond child who is too sensitive for this world but not, alas, for this sappy movie.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Megan LehmannA fanciful wisp of a film that feels slight at times. It's based on the slender novella "Pobby and Dingan," by Ben Rice, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Yet it winds up making some keen observations on the power of imagination.
Upstage Magazine - 8/10 by Kam WilliamsOne of those heartwarming, 'It's fun to pretend!' fables that's fun for the whole family.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Manny LewisAnd despite Kellyanne, at times, coming off as more annoying than sympathetic, the film succeeds because of the great lengths to which Ashmol goes to bring her peace of mind.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Walter AddiegoIt's tear-jerker material but ends up being quite touching, and it's a good choice for family viewing.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonAlthough Opal Dream marks a pleasing departure from the conventions of the British comedy -- it's based on a children's book and set in the Australian outback -- it's disappointingly small in scope.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittThe main attraction of Opal Dream is its warm portrait of a family.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Sid SmithSophisticated cinephiles aren't likely to go ga-ga over this one, but Opal Dream is a worthwhile family film, graced with an ambivalent, bittersweet ending and just the right touch of cinematic poetry turning on the gemstone in its title.
Murphy's Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Ted MurphyCatteneo directs the film with a relatively light touch and he manages to avoid too much schmaltz.
