Phoenix Rising

Teenage actress Evan Rachel Wood turned heads with her unlikely relationship with much-older shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. Behind the scenes, the musician’s love bombing morphed into physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The two-part HBO documentary "Phoenix Rising" lets Wood tell her complete story for the first time. She recounts the evolution of a classically abusive relationship, elevated by a world of rock’n’roll excess and violence as an artform. It also shows in real-time her struggle with the legal system and threats from Marilyn Manson fans.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "PHOENIX RISING " BEGINS AROUND MINUTE 40:00.
