How long is Invitation to a Murder?
The runtime is listed as 92 minutes. Apple TV gives that runtime, and the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) lists it as approximately 92 minutes.
Is Invitation to a Murder appropriate for teens?
Its classification depends on the territory. Apple TV’s US listing rates the film PG-13 for some violent content and smoking. The BBFC describes moderate violence, bloody images, sex references and threat. These are separate regional classification systems, not interchangeable or universal age recommendations. Parents deciding whether it suits a particular teen may want to weigh the BBFC’s content descriptors alongside the US rating.
