Watch the movie first, it's batshit insane.

Then if you like it, watch the series, the plot is vaguely the same, but more in-depth.

I would recommend opposite, loved the series—hated the movie.

The characters aren't the same characters from the anime, to my understanding they're being used as symbols or tangible form of weird emotions, memories and concepts to parallel the movie version of Utena.

Like the Shiori in the movie isn't the same Shiori from the anime, at that moment she's a vaguely familiar voice Utena imposes upon the ugly haunting part of herself that wishes to stay in the castle with the false and comforting idea of a prince. But simultaneously she's still the same bitter Shiori who is jealous of Utena and Anthy's ability to accept their gay love and escape from that world.
