| VarietyTodd McCarthyWakefield's trenchant coming-of-age tale uses a classic pairing of utterly contrasting types to ground his exploration of innocence and experience, of complacency and the thirst for adventure... |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullUltimately it's goofy and a little bit confusing, but a few of its insights are worthwhile, if far from unique in this genre. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI'm a decade younger than the characters in this movie, but I grew up in a time and place not far from the film's psychic setting. I recognized much. |
| Film Journal InternationalBob SatuloffThat rare '50s piece capable of attracting a young '90s audience. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAn old-fashioned coming-of-age story with a newfangled art-film look... |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsFirst-time feature director Mark Pellington seems a little lost, not quite knowing in what direction to take his film or these characters. |

| Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten[A] myopic male gauntlet of shrews and Jews. |
| User ReviewPhenyezia OI know it has its flaws but I can't help but love it... and Ben Affleck is really hot in it. |
| User ReviewLuke AJeremy Davies is excellent, Ben Affleck is maybe the best he's ever been and the writing wasn't to shabby either. Though predictable, Going All the Way is not only a potent tablet of youth for Midwesterners, but translatable to all who are sick of familiarity. |
