EEPHUS

As an imminent construction project looms over their beloved baseball field, two New England recreational teams face off one last time.

Two baseball teams, the River Dogs and Adler’s Paint, have been meeting on Sunday afternoons for longer than anyone can remember. These middle-aged sportsmen can’t run as fast as they used to or connect as reliably with a pitch, but their vigorous appetite for socializing, squabbling, and busting chops remains undiminished. After the county board opts to raze the baseball diamond to make way for a school, the teams meet for one final game. As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players face the uncertainty of a new era. Lovingly laid in a vanished Massachusetts of the mid-1990s, Carson Lund’s poignant feature debut plays like a lazy afternoon. Named for a rarely-deployed curveball, EEPHUS is both a ribald comedy for the baseball connoisseur and a movie for anyone who’s ever lamented their community slipping away.
