9/10

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.

The children will come to the film for its amusing hijinks and creatively developed animal characters, while older viewers will appreciate the artistry and the emotional depth.

Beyond the impact of its principles and visuals, The Concierge is elegant, contemporary yet nostalgic; imbued with wonderment and interwoven with meaning.

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.

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.

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.
