"Spontaneous" is a film made just before the pandemic--the movie is known to others, but I just blundered onto it. On EPIX. I recorded the movie and watched it because the critics score was 97 and the audience rating was 67. Those are strange numbers.
I found it compelling, and my wife hated it and ignored it as best she could. Fair warning.
The first half of the film is a very dark rom-com about a class of high school seniors who begin to spontaneously explode, throwing buckets of blood around the classroom.
The second half is humorless but compelling in its way, a symbolic exploration of the texture of life once you realize how uncertain life is. And no one can change that. Do you remember high school? Not everyone made it out alive.
