Whether playing a larger-than-life diva or a more grounded, naturalistic character, Hagen brings an infectious energy and a fearless commitment to her roles. Her performances are often marked by a playful sense of the absurd, as she gleefully subverts expectations and challenges the boundaries of conventional storytelling.

Hagen's cinematic contributions have helped to expand the possibilities of the medium, pushing audiences to embrace the unconventional and celebrate the power of the individual spirit.
