As an imminent construction project looms over their beloved small-town baseball field, a pair of New England Sunday league teams face off for the last time over the course of a day. Tensions flare up and ceremonial laughs are shared as an era of camaraderie and escapism fades into an uncertain future.

Critics Consensus

Revealing character through the rules of the game, Eephus is a bittersweet baseball outing thrown at a perfect pitch.

The Reveal

Eephus lets that sense of finality hum as background noise to a low-key comedy built around an Altman-esque ensemble of colorful characters who drift in and out of the spotlight as they day progresses.

This movie is something of an eephus: a long, slow, looping thing that's meant to distract and delay... It's about community, and it's kind of beautiful.

3.5/5

Every baseball movie asks us to believe the game is a metaphor for life. Lund isn’t asking.

9/10

Director Carson Lund not only delivers an incredibly poignant vision of life through the allegory of baseball, but it taps into the soul of why the game remains romantic.

4/4

By the time the light finally dies and the game winds down, Eephus has become something gently metaphysical: a film about how ordinary people rehearse for loss without ever admitting that’s what they’re doing.

Easily one of the year’s best films, Eephus finds hope in community while understanding that endings are unavoidable. Lund reminds viewers that baseball may not stop the changes that are a part of life, but it can help us come to terms with them together.

I remember a little league game I was in, extra innings on a school night and at least 11pm, a teammate’s mom, who wasn’t at the game, came to make him come home lol. I’m glad my mom and dad always understood and share the love of the game of baseball. That’s what this movie did for me, brought back many memories of the greatest sport ever!

Great pace and great characters. The overt sense of communal loss really humanizes this cast fullnof goobers.
