It’s a busy time at the IFI with a host of new releases including a classic title back on the big screen, a locally made documentary and a dash of comedy-horror for your weekend.
If you’re trying to decide what to see next, we’ve rounded up the reviews for Meetings with Ivor, Prevenge and the return of Taxi Driver below. As if you needed to know just how great Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece is.
