So, 'Menendez Brothers: Misjudged?' directed by Andrea de Brito is an intriguing documentary that digs deep into a case that had America glued to their screens back in the 90s. The tone is very reflective, almost somber, as it intertwines the original trial footage with modern commentary, allowing for this fascinating juxtaposition of old and new. The pacing feels deliberate, creating space for re-examination of the brothers' motives and the broader themes of family dynamics and media sensationalism. It’s interesting how TikTok and social media are bringing this story back into the limelight, sparking conversations that might feel just as fresh today. The practical effects aren’t really a factor, but the real footage makes it raw and poignant. Performances, in a way, are drawn from archival material, creating a chilling effect that resonates well.
