Javier Bardem & Chloë Sevigny REACT to Erik Menendez’s ‘Monsters’ Criticism (Exclusive) 

Whether people think the show was like the real story or not, you gotta give every single actor credit for their brilliant performances. They all did so amazing.

Javier deserves an award for that role, he was scary and so powerful, really amazing performance.

Bardem as usual when he's on screen absolutely dominates....the guy is an incredible actor

That moment she fell on the kitchen floor… only to pull herself back up for the wine bottle…. Amazing!

Unbelievable and award worthy acting!!! ❤

Javier carried the whole series. What an actor, kudos.

Totally agree. I think people are misinterpreting it. It’s not a documentary. The films did not present much of the story as absolute truth. It's presenting what people think about it. That's the hallmark of the case; hystetical public opinion whipped up by media and most of it the product of wild imagination. We're left none the wiser at the end of it, and that's how it should be. Only the people who were there know what did and didn't happen.

The acting all the way around was phenomenal🎉

To me the series was pretty clearly stating that we will never know the entire truth and that all events were interpretations of each persons point of view. It's clearly fiction with sprinkles of truth.

why did'nt the writiers talk with Lyle and Erik?

The exploitive nature of this and other Ryan Murphy projects that I've watched makes me feel dirty for having done so. I could only get through 1 + 1/2 episodes of this one. As usual, the performances are good but how anyone has the gall to defend this type of project against words of the actual victims who know the actual truth, is beyond me.

Chloe Sevigny is an amazing actress!!!!!!!!!!!!

great acting!

Wasn't really a fan of the show, but Javier Bardem was amazing in it. He's creepy, evil, nice, and hilarious all at once. Just continues to prove how good of a character actor he is.

Monsters The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story Is So Very Incredible !

crazy still saying “alleged” about something you can clearly look into and see other professionals opinions on what happened… disappointing they didn’t do any research before taking these roles

1:50 “allegedly”, ridiculous, it DID HAPPEN. Why are these people so reluctant to say the abuse DID happen?

They were amazing✨👌🏻

Chloe deserves an Oscar, such a talented actress

he should win an award for his performance

The parents were the monsters. This case happened in the 90s. Boomers were "raising" their children and adults were agast that kids would hurt let alone kill the parents. Reasonably so. At the time, you were not supposed to question your parents. Most parents still thought they were like God, everything they did was correct and if their child questioned them or asked for accountability for their bad behavior, they were out of line. My 15 year old brother got kicked out of our house for not "respecting" my mom and step dad. No adults questioned my mom's decision. No one questioned how the Menedez brothers were treated. It was never brought up in conversations about them. They were immediately guilty for disrespecting, hurting their parents, and killing them. What we now understand is, they were badly abused. In an abusive home you aren't taught ways to cope with the stress of abuse. Abusers want you stressed out. You aren't taught ways to get out, you aren't encouraged to talk to a therapist. There's no healthy conflict resolution. One person was God and they were to do what he said. What Lyle and Erik did was wrong and they should've went to prison. I don't feel enough weight was given to what they went through and that while they were old enough to know right from wrong, they weren't taught right from wrong in that home. They were raised by someone who refused to deal with their own trauma, who was emotionally immature, and probably had a personality disorder. That person was enabled and emboldened by their mother. They underwent horrific abuse and saw no way out. It's time to let the Menendez bothers out. I hope this docuseries draws attention to the case and people learn what really happened and rise up for these boys who went, almost seamlessly, from one prison to another.

Is it just me, or do they look like they could be siblings?

Very good performances

They look great and the acting was top notch

Tammi was in her forties and Erik was in his 20’s when she targeted him. There is a huge age gap. I think Erik married his mother because Tammi looks like Kitty and Tammi was married to a pedophiler named Chuck Saccoman who was sleeping with Tammi’s older daughter and she said she suspected it but did not say anything just like Kitty who was married to a pedo named Jose and she knew Jose was sleeping with their older son. See the similarities

i just think chloë is really pretty

Javier made the father really lovable. Even the mental “abuse” scenes seemed to come from a place of love. I grew up in a deeply abusive home. Real abuse (in my opinion) comes from a deep hate of the child.

Love both of these people fire

Ryan Murphy should be jailed for turning their tragic story into one of his sick gay fantasies

They need to win Emmys cos they were TERRIFYING to watch.

I was a small child and I was invested in the case.

Javier and Chloë did a fantastic job portraying these characters, especially not being that familiar. They were exactly how I imagined Jose and Kitty to be in real life. All 4 of the actors were phenomenal honestly.

perfect casting!!

I read two days ago that their Aunt said the parents were extremely cruel. I believe her frim what I read torturing your children is a crime. They did endure an horrific life for sure.

These two were outstanding in these roles…great effort.

They were not “boys”. That was a term their attorney used to elicit sympathy. They were over 18 and were young men who put time and effort in the murders of their parents.

The two of them did a fantastic job! Loved the series & the way Ryan Murphy shows it from different viewpoints. It was spot on reconstruction.

Amazing performance!!!

I was very impressed with how well this was done and blown away by the Milli Vanilli soundtrack thought that was an awesome touch

Chloe is Amazing. I loved her in AHC. Javier, again, killed it!!

He is my SPANISH pride for sure! The skills are unbearable and undeniable... our best actor I'm so happy for him❤❤❤

The fact that I hate these people confirms what a brilliant job they did. Outstanding!!! My God. What a cast.

Javier Bardem 😍

Crazy to think Bardem is evenly aged between the brothers.

I think Ryan Murphy did amazing as he does with every project. I was affected by it.

The more I hear about these boys in the movie and out of the movie they deserve to be free.If OJ got off so can these guys.

Jose did not have an accent, he came and to the US very young there is video of him talking, no accent

Javier served in Monsters

This was a great movie. Amazing acting, script and direction. Kudos.

Excellent acting.

THE 4 OF THEM. GREAT CASTING!!! AMAZING. THE BOYS WERE GREAT!!!

My beloved Javier Bardem, you are a professional but i humbly urge you with all respect of your work do not fend Ryan Murphy. Ryan Murphy disrespected the brothers completely. Ryan only focused to fufill his own perception and fantasy of just one person and that is Erik. So my utmost respectful actor Javier Bardem, let this be The last film you ever did with Ryan Murphy. Ever!!!! I love you wholeheartedly and with 100% respect don't take another role of Ryan Murphy. Just don't!

Why I honestly did not recognize him. He looks so different for the role.

They both did amazing!

Woww....Two amazing actors. What a incredible actions of you both Congratulations.

It’s a part of American history. Therefore, it’s open for discussion. I can appreciate Erik and Lyle wishing to be spoken to but, there’s no law saying that has to be done. I do believe they have paid their dues & I do think they were molested but, when you go to jail you have to expect that you’re not going to be consulted. It’s Hollywood. In the end, I hope the series helps them with their release.

Javier bardem se llevó esa serie

These questions are so bad. Who writes these questions?

Eric and Lyle commenting from prison: “every like this gets I’ll do one pushup”

They were great in the acting

Thank you

Kitty 💖💕💕💕

Great performance from all.

0:15 the world had obsessed with ? 😂 which world ?

Extremely disappointing that two acclaimed actors would take part in explicit defamation and slander of two boys who were victims of parental abuse and rape from a young age. This is a non-fictional story which the boys further victimised within society and such a broken justice system by getting life without parole following their honest accounts from so much childhood trauma. The accounts of exploitation are unimaginably painful, only to then have these two wealthy actors putting out a distorted misrepresented account simply for profit. Shame on them for their lack of humanity

Awful crime case; very scary sociopathic young men.

looks like Al Pacino !!

Ryan Murphy should do JonBenét Ramsey. But, her father and brother are sue happy so it might not work 🤔

If only the parents survived and were able to give this interview too. Those brothers lied. Norma Novelli busted them out that part wasn’t just added in the series for “show” it really happened. She recorded him admitting to fake crying on the stand and everything else. “The Abuse Excuse” all of you defending them should be ashamed. You guys will believe anyone who sheds tears “🥺”. They woulda been crying laughing “🤣” rich 💰 had Norma Novelli not busted them out to the public and they got away it.

Wish Javier hadn't dyed his hair ... be grey and be beautiful

I like the doctor, he act funny

Bardem is so hot !! 😊

Jesus Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the third day. I hope all who reads this will realize your a sinner (we all are) and turn to Jesus and trust and believe that He died for your sins was buried and rose again the third day but trust in Him alone to save you from your sins and hell.

It wasn’t a documentary. It’s all about entertainment. These actors only care about getting paid. I’d have more respect for them if they would just come right out and say that. Heck even documentaries are half fake.

Yo conozco Padres que estan criando Desde muy pequenos Monstruos futuros a la Sociedad no le Importa que Pena!!@@

He talks for way too long

We can argue that it was a horrific crime and that these kids were just spoiled brats however there is evidence of abuse not sure the degree of abuse that was never really proven. The argument for me is that they were old enough just to move the fuck out and go on about their lives. They weren’t little kids and they weren’t young teenagers

I did not like these actors, no good. The monsters there were the father & mother of the menendez family. The 2 sons are just victims of terrible abuse, not that murder is justified, but imagine their life! It is so complex, but anyway, these actors, so boring, so meh... I am also a Spanish speaker, & in Almodovar films I used to like Bardem, but now he seems bored, no spark. Her, well, same... That is my own opinion...

The series is campy and focused too much on the abuse when everyone knows it never happend. The real story was the mom.

Buy a real mic lol😅

i swear i remember true story of a sister & brother in one country were in love sexually , when their parents discovered them , their kids killed them , i sooo believe the story in the series , i dont believe the father abused them sexualy
