Jacob Oller AV Club Filmmaker Ai Yoshimura and studio MAPPA condense the florid tale into a two-hour anime feature that saps some depth from its characters but loses little of its larger appeal. Rated: B- Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org The Rose of Versailles takes creative liberties with history and creative swings, but it’s an indulgence just for curiosity’s sake. May 28, 2025 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media As a remake of the original 1979-80 television series, this new film adaptation fails to say much. May 7, 2025 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community The Rose of Versailles does its best to condense its narrative into a two-hour movie. Sadly, the film is more like an anime recap movie than a full feature, and not even a good one at that. Rated: 3.5/10 May 1, 2025 Full Review Petrana Radulovic Polygon I can see how a recap movie with beautiful animation and song sequences would appeal to a longtime fan of this franchise, but for someone new to the story, it just feels like a frustrating hint of something even better. May 1, 2025 Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof It's a shame that MAPPA didn't opt ​​for a trilogy of films, which might have allowed for more attention to detail, but even so, The Rose of Versailles is a very special show that celebrates [Riyoko] Ikeda's work. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Arthur S It is a very mid movie, the beggining is pretty good, but the rest of it is just so rushed and keeps completely boring with very mid songs through the movie. The final is good, and it makes the film kinda worth it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Esra Y Really wanted to finish this for the sake of 90s style anime giving me huge nostalgia but this movie has no story, no character, no event. They keep singing while there are many roses drawn around them. That's it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Paul S I don't know what to make of this movie. Never in my life would I have imagined an anime movie about Marie Antoinette and Bastille Day, but here it is. The animation was solid and it was fun to watch, but the dialogue was stale (though oddly profound at times) and the songs just flat-out bothered me. This movie is definitely for somebody, but it isn't for me. However, I can't say it was a bad movie. I definitely think romance and anime fans would love this. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Robson C Oscar François de Jarjayes é uma menina que foi criada como menino e que seguiu carreira militar. Ela é escolhida para ser a guardiã da Delfina Maria Antonieta. Logo surge uma amizade entre as duas mulheres, ao mesmo tempo que tempos sombrios na França levam o povo à revolta. A Rosa de Versalhes é um clássico dos mangás shojo. Aqui seus 10 volumes são condensados em quase 2 horas de filme. Não li o mangá, mas é claro que muita coisa deve ter sido deixado de lado para ter o filme. Podemos dividir o filme em duas partes: na primeira parte, Maria Antonieta é a protagonista e a sua trajetória de princesa a rainha da França. O seu casamento sem amor e o romance por Hans Axel von Fersen. A segunda metade é de Oscar. Ela sabe que é uma mulher, mas começa a surgir as primeiras dúvidas em relação ao amor, o seu papel como guardiã da rainha e os ventos de revolta no seu país. E quando Oscar assume o protagonismo, o filme ganha em qualidade, pois a primeira parte acaba se arrastando um pouco mais pelas frivolidades da corte francesa. Os números musicais são acompanhados pelas sequências mais bonitas do anime. Oscar se mostra uma personagem bem complexa, representando esta dualidade homem/mulher, masculino/feminino, que causa confusão na cabeça das pessoas que não a conhecem, principalmente das mulheres, como na sequência inicial, quando Maria Antonieta chega em Paris e vê Oscar pela primeira vez. O anime é muito bonito e o desenho do figurino chama bastante a atenção. O roteiro sabe combinar bem a ficção com os fatos históricos, dando uma ideia do que acontecia na França no reinado de Luis XVI e Maria Antonieta. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Andrea Z Horrible character development (non existant really), annoying musical never-ending scenes and the story of Oscar completely changed. The stoic Oscar, who by the way was seen as a man throughout practically the whole tv series, now everybody knows she is a woman and she is crying for at least 60% of her screen time, and also... she has a mother, like wtf! Who rewrote this?!. This is an insult to the original Lady Oscar. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Alejandro E Inspirado en el anime clásico de Ryoko Ikeda, los últimos años de la monarquía de Francia, narrados desde el punto de vista de la escolta de la reina María Antonieta hace su esfuerzo por ser fiel al original. El resultado no es del todo flojo, lo que faltó es profundidad en los personajes. Los fans no quedarán del todo decepcionados. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
