Reviews

  • "The film’s only villain is the passage of time, and its protagonists are simply facing the unpleasant realization that their era is ending sooner than their lifespans."
    - IndieWire
  • "Its pearls of practical wisdom and jewels of melancholic wit make Eephus a gem, which is fitting, for a movie about a game played on a diamond."
    - Variety
  • "Modest and moving, it’s a new sports-movie classic, as sneakily effective as the pitch which gives it its title."
    - The Daily Beast
  • "It dwells in some languid liminal space between hangout movie and elegy, a tribute to the community institutions that hold us together, that introduce us to one another and that, in an age of optimized life choices and disappearing public spaces, are slowly fading away."
    - The New York Times
