Kambole Campbell IGN Movies Through its light and adorable premise, The Concierge smuggles in a rather tragic environmentalist message, but not at the expense of its incredibly well-crafted gags. Rated: 9/10 Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek This is a kid-friendly whimsical tale about learning customer service and considering the place of human beings in this world. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Sherin Nicole RIOTUS Beyond the impact of its principles and visuals, The Concierge is elegant, contemporary yet nostalgic; imbued with wonderment and interwoven with meaning. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat It tells a simple story that nevertheless imparts a great deal of wisdom about the benefits of kindness and going the extra mile to help other people. Rated: 3/4 Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Lisa Nystrom FILMINK (Australia) ... sweetly humorous ... Rated: 17.5/20 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Charlie Ceates Cultured Vultures The Concierge is a short (maybe too short) and sweet comedy that’ll be sure to brighten your day.

J One of the cutest movies I've ever seen. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I still highly recommend it for a fan lf slice-of-life anime or cute animals. My boyfriend and I cried the entire time, pretty much. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Alyssa Must see! So good, needs to have WAY more showings. One showing in one theater at only one time, for the whole city of Las Vegas, NV is ridiculous. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Anonymous Liked --- - Art style - Character design - Music - Comedy Dislike --- - Shallow character growth and narrative - Incredibly short runtime Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Dale W A wonderful story that delightfully captures the beauty of service, resilience, relationships, and cute animals! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Isaac Y It really nice slice of life I thought I never get to see it the west but it surprised with great animation of different kinda of animal that sassy seal look sooo cute but sooo mean I WTF was her problem Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review thousand74 Amazing feel-good movie.
