Lame poster. Bonkers concept. Surprisingly deep. Very timely.
Spontaneous is a sweet and charming love story, a darkly comic bloody horror, an absurdist dramedy, and a relatable coming-of-age story rolled into one.
That final monologue really sticks with me. What a perfect way to end the film.

this was so much fun i miss when movies were fun who else misses when movies were fun

WHAT THE HELLLL i didn’t even realise this had already been released!! this really surpassed my expectations. it’s like a john green adaptation but tolerable.

I can’t believe they gave one of the most unique and interesting coming of age films of the past decade one of the worst posters I’ve ever fucking seen

THE ONLY SCENES I ENJOYED FROM THIS WERE THE ONES WHERE THEY WERE BLOWING UP WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS 😭😭😭😭
just scrolled through this movie’s reviews on this damn site and i am absolutely appalled at the amount of people that genuinely enjoyed this. there is no way you people watched this movie and weren’t begging for it to end the entire time.
on god what the fuck was this screenplay i simply cannot imagine how these actors were able to keep a straight face while recording their scenes. and katherine langford’s character was the most obnoxious little bitch ever there is absolutely no way people are finding her relatable or inspiring. the only thing that could have redeemed… -
Spontaneous miraculously delivers the most sincere and delicate sentiments in the most bloodied form, and is one of the most stylishly glorious and emotionally resonating millennial coming-of-age stories I've ever seen.
Spontaneous tells an offbeat, hilarious story about how a sudden plague in her high school that causes her classmates to spontaneously blow up pushes the cynical teen Mara through her last days of high school. It's an oddly endearing experience despite its gruesome subject matter, thanks to the extreme likeability of almost every character in the story, and the wonderful cast who has done a great job hammering down every millennial trait and banter of the characters with utter respect. The romantic aspect works wonder despite its seemingly unassuming…

Charlie Plummer my man you are something, after a long time i have been interested in an actor of his age, he was great in WORDS ON BATHROOM WALLS when it comes to drama and even in a thriller THE CLOVERHITCH KILLER, now all you gotta do is a pure horror flick and I'll be rooting for you forever.
Spontaneous a black romantic comedy that drew my attention with the very first shot, something that I could never have imagined even in my wildest dreams, fucking blowing up people what more do you need to create an absolute jaw dropper, the plot is funny, interesting and nicely paced for the most part with likeable characters and the best part was…

Uhhhh... is Spontaneous the biggest surprise of the year or what?
This dark coming-of-age comedy about teens who literally start spontaneously exploding for no apparent reason is so shockingly smart and sweet, and it totally took me by surprise.
Please please PLEASE don’t miss this one.

This movie really won me over. The two leads were far more grounded than the concept and made all the tension and dread work. Gonna be someone’s HEATHERS-sequel screening staple very soon.

Had my own reservations (thanks to those awful posters) but Brian Duffield's directorial debut, SPONTANEOUS turned out to be a pleasant surprise and exceeded my expectations. A charming, moving & surprisingly timely coming-of-age black comedy while also putting a fresh & gory twist on the genre. Anchored by delightful performances from Charlie Plummer & especially Katherine Langford, and the undeniable chemistry between them.
