Critics Consensus

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

FilmWeek (LAist)

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.

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

Rated: 3.5/5

As with most baseball games, nothing much happens in “Eephus.” Look under the surface, though, and you realize everything about life is pretty much playing out on that diamond.

Rated: 3/4

Exclaim!

It's a movie that captures the granular, random tedium of life, taking a snapshot of the moment you and your friends say goodbye to the places and people that became a big part of your life without even realizing it.

Rated: 8/10

Eephus [is a] baseball film that takes the quiet, religious reflections of sport and life found in the best of its genre, and crystallizes them into one of the most poignant, unassumingly reflective sport films in recent memory.

Rated: A

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!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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