Kindred Spirits is a 1984 Australian film about a young girl who has a psychic experience at Bondi Beach.[1] It was the third in a series of Sunday Australian Movies.[2]

The Sydney Morning Herald's Richard Coleman gave it a bad review stating "David Waters, best known for his Norman Ross commercials, squared his shoulders and said confidently: "Damn, bugger, bum, blast!" That was the high point of a remarkably silly script."[3] John O'Hara writes in Cinema Papers "This is a lighter, more delicate film than any of the others, except for its heavy-handed satire of a stand-up comic of the very old school. The film is more romantic and lush than others in the series, but also thin and over-extended."[4]

Kindred Spirit won a Ditmar Award at the 1984 Australian Science Fiction Convention.[5]
