I would not think Ilkley Cinema would show Four Lions as it is a very politically incorrect film which would appeal mainly to the younger audiences. Ilkley has a majority population of elderly people who would not find the concept amusing or entertaining as most of the humour is very modern and controversial.

Film available online and in DVD and Blu-ray and is often re shown in private theatres.
