why concat doesn't work with {}?

const flatMovies = movies.reduce((arr,movie)=> {arr.concat(movie)},[]);

In the full arrow function syntax, where you have a code body in braces, nothing is returned unless you include an explicit "return" statement.

But in the abbreviated syntax, where you have only a single expression and no braces, the result of the expression is automatically returned.
