Kevin R Very dark and depressing true story crime drama about the two brothers who were relentlessly sexually abused by their cruel and merciless father throughout their childhood and entire teenhood. They were neglected by their mother who did absolutely nothing to protect them from him which led to them killing their parents. The movie is very intense and heartbreaking. I absolutely feel for the brothers and am absolutely appalled by all the negative reviews dehumanizing the Menendez brothers. Gender bias has definitely got to play a big role in all of the negativity. This movie is extremely well acted and well made. One of the best lifetime movies. I can’t believe the jury was stupid enough to find them guilty. I’m sure all the negative reviewers siding with the prosecutors would’ve done the same thing too if they were in the Menendez brothers’ shoes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Christin L This movie didn't do the menedez brothers any justice in what happened to them and what they lived through. not only did the writer some what sexulized the relation of the brothers in a weird way they managed to make the worst people look like victims in some sick story. Yall are forgetting that this isn't just some movie these brothers actually lived through this. Next time you think about making a movie based off of other people's life traumas don't Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Patrick O I don’t think I’ve learned anything further in this documentary that I had already known when the brothers were repeatedly tried for murder throughout the 90’s. The brothers claimed they were sexually abused from almost the beginning of this story. There were experts & family to claim the duo were abused but as far from what I watched nothing new in the form of forensics or evidence. I honestly believe that if folks in the US were given the opportunity in deciding the fate of the brothers then the two would earn their freedom as I believe many would decide from their hearts. I believe in the US judicial system in most cases but in others I think it’s a complete banana republic. For these two brothers to even be given a chance at parole even though they were sentenced to life with none is surprising to say the least for the manner in which they committed the crime & to whom & without question it was 100% premeditated. I truly believe the brothers are receiving this recognition because of the men they’ve become in prison being role modeled prisoners. The prosecutor that recommended the brothers receive the parole hearings is a complete an incompetent fool. In my honest opinion I do not think these brothers deserve the light of day for freedom. I gave the documentary 3 stars. It was ok but nothing throughout the film gave me the aw factor Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Farah R A decent documentary that doesn't stray from its subject matter, The Menendez Brothers offers enough insight to true crime fanatics looking to learn about the tabloid murders. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review David F A good true crime documentary about the notorious brothers who murdered their parents. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review E C Wow. Some of these reviews are so grossly ignorant it’s infuriating. Family of the murdered parents corroborated the abuse, and people still want to say they’re lying?????? The gender bias is glaring. The way these brothers were treated about their testimony is why male victims of abuse rarely disclose. We need to do better. If they had been young women, they would’ve had resounding support. Their actions would’ve been considered against the weight of the horrors they’d endured. The naysayers might as well go sit in a corner with a dunce hat on and delete their social accounts. Tom Cruise wouldn’t have been able to portray the emotion of their testimony surrounding the abuse, so to claim they are faking is laughable.
