Eephus

Eephus (2025) is a quiet tragicomedy from Carson Lund that you can watch online on iFILM. Two New England rec-league baseball teams take the field one final time before the diamond gets paved over for a new school.

The game stretches from noon to dusk. No crowd, no stakes anyone outside this lot would recognize — just a couple dozen middle-aged men, thermoses of coffee, petty arguments over the score, and long dead air between pitches. Lund lets the match play out close to real time, and as the light drains off the field, so does a whole way of spending a Sunday.

The title nods to the eephus, that absurdly slow trick pitch, and the film moves at the same lazy tempo. Lund's debut turned heads at Cannes, with cameos from pitching legend Bill Lee and documentarian Frederick Wiseman. It's a movie for anyone who loves it when almost nothing happens and it still sticks with you. Stream Eephus (2025) online on iFILM.
