First Look Review - "No Sleep Till"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-07-08

The filmmaking collective known as Omnes Films has been responsible for three of the best American indie features of recent years. Tyler Taormina's Ham on Rye and Christmas Eve in Miller's Point and Carson Lund's Eephus all share an elegiac quality. All three are centred around characters confronting the notion that a way of life they've taken for granted is coming to an end. The people in Omnes Films productions don't so much rage against the dying of the light as quietly accept it. In Ham on Rye, a teenage girl contends with being left in her small town when all her friends depart through a strange portal. Christmas Eve in Miller's Point sees an extended Italian-American clan gather for one last Christmas before their family home is sold. Eephus is centred on the last ever game to be played at a beer league baseball field.
