Menendez: Blood Brothers (2017)
The Menendez family appeared to have it all, but behind the facade was a dark side that led to a shocking double murder. In 1989, the two brothers, Lyle and Erik, interrupted their parents watching TV and shot them each several times with a shotgun.
This biographical film tells the story of the two Menendez brothers, and details the allegations of abuse that they levelled against their parents in the subsequent trial.
You’ll recognise some faces in the cast: Courtney Love plays Kitty Menendez, the boys’ mother, while Nico Tortorella (Josh in Younger) plays Lyle, once a student at Princeton.
