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 2.5/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  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 0.5/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Cristy L This is the type of anime I'm looking forward to I remember seeing the old version and I loved it way ahead of its time netflix did there big one with this one amazing I cried ❤️ ♥️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Vector V The first question that arises after watching this feature film based on the legendary 70's series is: "Was this film necessary?" Unfortunately NO! The screenplay is superficial and too compressed. The development of the characters is completely non-existent and the musical interludes are quite annoying. In order to somehow connect the scenes together, the director makes his own somewhat useless voice-over which in the end is nothing more than a commentary on images. The direction does not care about the facial expressions of the protagonists, as the TV series had accustomed us to, and therefore they all seem mono-expressive. And it forgets many characters who are not even named. The colors are too invasive, especially the gold color, forcing you to use sunglasses during the viewing. Added to this is an excessive use of CGI which, instead of enriching the work, impoverishes it, as the separation between drawings and 3D CGI is too clear. Among the most notable absences are the "Roses" yes the "roses" that in the series framed many scenes, a clear reference to the title of the manga "Versailles no bara" here they are completely absent, showing that whoever wrote and directed the work did not fully understand their meaning. The dialogues are particularly theatrical and lack depth making them decidedly boring. A missed opportunity that will sadden long-time fans and leave the new generations indifferent. I add that the addition of some scenes present in the manga, but not in the TV series, does not enrich the film but impoverishes it, being quite thrown in there. Ironically a story that praises freedom in this adaptation is full of "censorship", for example in the love scenes to please the bigoted West, demonstrating how even Japan is losing that creative freedom that once made its works unique even if conceived for a general audience, for vile money. P.S. there is also a serious writing error, namely that Andrè, now blind, sees a soldier pointing his rifle at Oscar.
