Rave Reviews

I witnessed the future of indy Aussie filmmaking. The film was brilliant.
– Joseph Smith (Film Reviewer, Anglican Media Sydney)

A magnificent effort. You guys not only had to learn your individual crafts, but also produce two feature films from scratch. All this in one year, part-time. Unreal!
– Nigel Graves

Two Battle Therapy films were a great achievement by the PartyCp8 class of 2006. A good comedy with an Aussie touch and an Aussie sense of humour. I would strongly recommend people to go and see these two films. It just goes to show the number talented people we have here in Australia.
– Jose Carrillo

Millie ... I think her performance stood out. Her real-life, genuine, kind and considerate personality was portrayed in her role. I also thought Millie’s on-screen husband did a great job. Myself and others thought the girl who played the orgasmic role, J, did a great job and was very convincing.
– Louis Dimmy (Director, Goliath's Amino Power Australia)

Considering the resources and experience they had, they did a fantastic job.
– Tim

As emerging filmmakers they have demonstrated their creativity and talent, with stunning footage and a well-rounded story to boot.

For a first-year production, the quality and commitment was outstanding.

I must say I enjoyed myself immensely and thought the film was very good indeed. To think that the whole thing was created wholly by students is really something.

The concept and story were great, and very funny. Well worth the money I paid.

Overall the acting and editing I thought was pretty good. They made me believe their condition was real. Their love was real and they actually had serious issues.
– Phillip Champ

Battle Therapy was awesome I would love to see it on DVD.
– Dallin Jarvis

My hats off for getting the moviez done with only a small crew.
– Chester Ferro

It was a very good film. It was funny (zany sort of humour) and feel-good (because everyone was basically nice), and it was filmed in glorious locations and was professionally produced, so there was no hint of ‘amateurism’.
– Susan Alexander

I have heard heaps about this new film Battle Therapy and would love to see it out on DVD, or at cinemas.

I really enjoyed your film. I could imagine that comedy would be a difficult genre to execute, but you pulled it off like a pro.
– Alison Burgess

Congratulations! Last night was fabulous. You were definitely the standout!
– Catherine Ward

Wanted to send my heartiest congratulations for seeing this all the way through to not one, but two features! Really interesting to see them together.
– Michael O'Rourke

I was thrilled that the end product of all your hard work culminated in a credible piece of movie making.  Considering the collaborative nature of filmmaking, it is a credit to you that inexperienced students can be so motivated to work together and adapt to the many roles required to make a motion picture.
– Craig Pearce (Manager, Trade Services, DSRD)

I recently watched Battle Therapy and thought it was excellent for a student film. We need more Aussie films out there to support our industry.

I have heard so much about the movie Battle Therapy and would LOVE to see it at a local cinema in rural New South Wales. I think the locals of the central west would like to see it. I had a friend go to the premiere and he said it was the best movie he had seen in a long while. And being Australian, it was even more fantastic. I look forward to seeing it in a cinema near me soon!
– Maree Agland

Hey, Mon. Congrats for yesterday. You were really good.
– Sean Barry

I enjoyed the film immensely. For a bunch of students and a very low budget, it was great. And maybe I have a soft spot for the lead, Ben Hanly, as he is a great friend.
– Michelle

I loved the locations, that was beautifully done, and especially New Year’s Eve with the fireworks going off in the background.
– Lynette Irwin

I am extremely happy to say that the premiere of the two movies at Fox Studios, Sydney, on 16 May 2007, which gave the actors and everyone else at PartyCp8 the opportunity to live a Hollywood-like atmosphere, was a great success!
– Viviana Hanes

I gladly watched version one of Battle Therapy. I found the movie to be very funny and interesting. The end product was excellent, especially considering the fact that the movie was created by students and with a low budget.
– Roy Ripepi

Well done, PartyCp8. Looked great, Mon. Hope to see you on the big screen again!

Congrats on your movie.

We enjoyed it and the lovely speech.

It was great to see Battle Therapy the other night. A big congratulations to you all! We really enjoyed the film. And a big thankyou too – I stayed right to the end and saw my Caravan logo. That was a bit of a thrill.
– Linda

I thought it was an excellent effort from a student class to come up with such a well-accomplished, full feature film.
– Tracey Maxwell

I thought it was a scream. I was laughing the whole way through. The crew did a fantastic job and I enjoyed the twist at the end.
