She is caught up in the French Revolution, and must choose between her loyalty and love.

Waste of time

Fantastic!

Crappy film

Sarita Rafferty

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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

The sad truth is that Jaques Demy is a horrible filmmaker. The much celebrated "Umbrella's of Cherbourg" was dreadful. Absolutely dreadful, but pretty in a stagy way. There isn't much you can say when you encounter something pretty but hollow. Of course it happens all the time to me, that I find movies with no soul. like girls trained to be empty.But there is something notable when something is so very pretty as this is, and so very empty at the same time. The provenance of this is at least interesting: a Japanese comic book. And if you wish to sit through it, you'll see copious references to "Barry Lyndon," on which this is clearly modeled. Now the magic of that was its carefully spaced vacuums. It had engineered emptiness, something that only a master could do.This. This is just empty.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

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.

This film is an absolute joke. The acting is so horrible that I got up during the film and went to check IMDb to have some entertainment from all of the scathing reviews I was sure I would find... Well, the critics didn't even bother to review it and the only published review was from a person who is probably related to the director or the producer. This film is so bad, I'm sure 40 years from now it will be a cult film simply for its downright awful acting!
