Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Opal Dream might be one of those movies that has to catch a viewer in the right mood, or be greeted with scorn.

rotten:
The film squeezes out its feel-good messages like toothpaste from a tube.

rotten:
Although 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.

With its lessons of faith, family loyalty and the power of the imagination, this is one of the rare non-animated films parents can take their children to see.
– Teresa Budasi,

fresh:
Sophisticated cine philes 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.
