Wildfire Magazine
Life Interrupted is an open and honest film about some of the most deeply personal aspects of a breast cancer diagnosis.
-
OC Weekly
Paula Mozen’s Life Interrupted, which chronicles her story as well as the stories of fellow breast cancer survivors, received the Best Documentary Feature award.
-
Bozeman Daily Chronicle
Breast cancer can’t be painted in broad pink brushstrokes, according to Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker and two-time cancer survivor Paula Mozen.
-
ReThink Breast Cancer
These days, it seems like everyone has a documentary to recommend. Going vegan? There’s a doc for that. Want to brush up on true crime? There are docs for that, too. But we’re not here to talk about any of those. We’re far more interested in documentaries that serve up realness in the breast cancer space and aren’t afraid to go to places that might make you uncomfortable at times.

Booklist
When filmmaker Paula Mozen was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, she was shocked and frightened. What happens next? How does it feel? As she recovers from her lumpectomy, she learns that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
-
Conquer Magazine
This true-to-life film shines a light on the many facets of the breast cancer journey. It offers a fantastic balance of medical, personal, emotional, and psychological insights that are sure to help anyone looking for different types of support in dealing with this “equal-opportunity disease”.
-
The Pharos Magazine
Mozen said that she wanted to make a film that she wishes she could have seen when she was diagnosed, a challenging and worthwhile place for a director-storyteller to begin. Present and future viewers will find the film informative and insightful, and for some, they will also feel a little less alone.
-
Video Librarian
While the three women obviously don’t represent every breast cancer experience, their stories are informative and illuminating. Recommended.
