Critics Consensus

A dark teen comedy with an explosive twist, Spontaneous reaffirms Katherine Langford as a rising star -- and marks debuting director Brian Duffield as a filmmaker to watch.

Brace yourself for an explosive and gory coming-of-age comedy, because Spontaneous is sensational, sick, and shouldn't be missed (again).

Estimable Australian Katherine Langford is fun and feisty as American schoolgirl Mara, and she has a great, tender chemistry with Charlie Plummer, who plays her sweet-natured boyfriend.

An absurdly funny, gripping and moving film that boasts one of the best screenplays of the year.

4/5

Spontaneous, writer-turned-director Brian Duffield’s debut, manages to be unnerving, from the heart, and especially relevant to today’s world, making it one of the year’s best surprises.

8/10

That's how good Langford and Plummer are. Their snarky, sarcastic rapport makes light of everything so that they can smile through the horror.

2.5/5

“Spontaneous” is the kind of movie that is sure to find an audience, but it’s skittish genre hopping could just as easily turn some people off.
