Critics Consensus

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

3.5/4

Nothing happens in "Eephus" and it’s still one of the best damn baseball movies ever made.

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.

5d

Sports is the subject of Eephus, a surprisingly good movie for 2025, which was an exceptionally poor year for American films.

4/4

It's a movie about a game that matters hardly at all, but in the moment, matters more than anything.

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.

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.
