Film Perfection

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's 2016 now but it is important to tell you guys : this movie is an awful movie!! I've watched lots of live-action movies but this is unacceptable!! First , about the whole movie. It was so fast. I know , it is hard to turn an anime with 40 episodes to a movie about 2 hours but I blame it on the director. Everything went to fast. André confessed to Oscar too soon , Rosalie cannot suddenly appear and say: You kill my mother,... Secondly, about the characters. Oscar is a strong woman but the Oscar that I saw in this movie isn't strong enough to be Oscar. She seems to be like a random girl from lots of movies. And André was such a failure!! I was so surprised when I saw him.His character has turned to be a douchebag. It is okay if this is a random movie. But it's a live-action so all the changes in this movie is unacceptable because it went too far from the manga/anime!! I hope you guys will not see this movie when you've already watched the anime

I'm a crazy fan of Rose of Versailles manga for a long long time, and I watch anime version, some scene of Takazakura version, a rock musical version in Italia. All of them are really close to the original one, but when I watch this live action, I cannot believe it belongs to Hollywood =='Totally holly crap, it destroy the characters of Riyoko Ikeda sensei. Especially Oscar, my idol, with girly outfit that I have no idea how she can survive in the army like that. They should choose another actress who look more like man and have strong personality. Moreover, Oscar's characteristic is broken 100% in this live action. When her father slapped her for disobeying the royal order, she slapped him back. OMG how a daughter can do this to her own father, even if he is doing the wrong thing??????????? Besides that, the scene with Andre in 12h July 1789 is unacceptable, and the worst thing is that : Oscar doesn't lead French people to attack Bastile Prison like manga, how pity !!! The ending is Andre comes out to see the revolution then he is shot and die????? Next thing is Oscar searches for him in the crowd without knowing that he is death???????????????? I just like what sh*t I just watch and I am really gonna angry for the description of this movie =='Really disappointed for a Hollywood production and it deserves a Golden Raspberry Awards :| Cannot understand why it has rate of 6.3 :|

To correct some inaccuracies in the above review, the anime "Rose of Versailles" came before "Lady Oscar," not afterward, and it was not targeted towards children. "Lady Oscar" is primarily based on the manga "Rose of Versailles" by Riyoko Ikeda, although it contains several plot differences from either anime or manga. The so-called "historical clichés" and the feminism the above reviewer cites are part of Ikeda's story and have nothing to do with the director of "Lady Oscar." I found the movie slightly disappointing in its variations from the anime and manga, but overall I liked it. It was nice to see the story of Lady Oscar presented in English, and I enjoyed seeing European actors filling the roles. Oscar's character differs greatly from her personality in the anime, but I found her much more personable in "Lady Oscar." I was disappointed, however, in the portrayal of Marie Antoinette as she was wholly flaky and unlikeable in "Lady Oscar" and lacked all the redeeming qualities she possessed in the anime. Also, the film overlooks the close nature of her relationship with Oscar as portrayed in Ikeda's manga.

I love the Rose of Versailles (Lady Oscar in West) original comics and was a pleasure to watch this movie. However it's necessary to say it's just for fans. When you previously know the characters and want to get in touch with an alternative point of view, it's OK, but if you take Lady Oscar as a movie about the French Revolution's or a cross dresser heroine, you probably would feel disappointed. The work was not as good as it would be; some actors and actresses were not well chosen; main events were forgotten; and Oscar's personal drama lost force. But as I said, I liked it a little, because any Lady Oscar's product would attract me.
