Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas bring unhappily married heat to 'Deep Water'

4 years 6 months ago
Seeing exes Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas on screen together will be an undeniable attraction (if not of the "Fatal" variety) for "Deep Water," but that shouldn't obscure the simple pleasures of this erotic thriller directed by Adrian Lyne, a crafty veteran of that genre.

Personal but ponderous, it's a flawed trip down memory lane where children bear the lingering burden of their ill-equipped parents.

Evan Rachel Wood delves deeply into allegations of domestic abuse against former boyfriend Marilyn Manson in "Phoenix Rising," a detailed chronicle of the "Westworld" star's evolution from acting to activism. Yet an equally sobering aspect of this two-part HBO documentary involves Wood's upbringing in Hollywood, and her memories of being sexualized in movies at an early age.
