Critical reception
Convenience attracted a positive response from audiences and critics alike. Leslie Felperin, writing for The Guardian, called the film a "fun-fuelled comedy caper" with "good, genuinely funny dialogue". Felperin praised the "likable, tightly synchronised cast".[4] Nev Pierce, for Empire Online called the film "very funny [...] simple, but strong".[5] Louie Freeman-Bassett, for Gorilla Film Online felt Convenience would have been better produced as a fifty-minute play, but singled Adeel Akhtar's performance as the film's best.[6]
