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.

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.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Victoria H After watching the 2025 film The Rose Of Versailles directed by 'Ai Yoshima' I felt myself being both happy and saddened, it left me feeling like there was just something missing. I'm not sure if it was how nearly almost all the side characters were tossed aside or the lack of explanation about what was going on. As a long time fan It is nearly impossible to watch this movie without prior knowledge and understand the lightly gestured at plots. as a new fan with no knowledge i'd probably rate this less then four starts because everything movies too fast. This really should have been a series instead of a movie because of how much was left out. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Audience Member The art and animation are exactly as I imagined it would be, but the story falls so flat and cannot live up to the original manga or anime. It would have benefited from at least 2 movies or more to tell the story and really have the characters develop. They all felt like strangers to one another so it lacked emotions when it came to scenes that should have felt emotional. Good effort, but it could have much better.
