Critical reception
Stephen Holden of The New York Times did not care for the film, especially Pellington's direction:
| “ | When a filmmaker feels compelled to pump up a story through caricature and expressionistic visual tricks, it's usually a sign of distrust in the inherent drama of the material. In Going All the Way, a flashy movie adaptation of Dan Wakefield's popular 1970 novel about growing up in the heartland in the repressed 1950s, Mark Pellington, a director from the world of music video, has inflated a realistic memoir into a garish, hyperkinetic social satire.[3] | ” |
Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4 stars:
| “ | Going All the Way is a deeper, cleverer film than it first seems. Much of its strength depends on the imploding performance of Jeremy Davies.[4] | ” |
