Movie Description MTV director emeritus Pellington tackles Dan Wakefield's eponymous novel about disenchanted young Army grunts returning to the stultifying blue-collar environs of circa-1954 Indianapolis after a Korean tour of duty. Disillusioned vet Sonny (Davies), while confused about his future, also struggles with repressive Fundamentalist parents and his own sexual coming-of-age, taking solace in his friendship with the more worldly Gunner (Affleck). McGowan (SCREAM) and Weisz (THE MUMMY) play the girls of their dreams. Winner of Sundance Special Recognition accolades for production designer Therese DePrez.

Editorial Reviews "...The interesting result is an old-fashioned coming-of-age story with a newfangled art-film look..." Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/10/1997)
"...Wakefield's story is rich and often truthful..." Los Angeles Times - John Anderson (09/19/1997)
"...The characters in GOING ALL THE WAY ring true....A deeper, clearer film than it first seems. Much of its strength depends on the imploding performance of Jeremy Davies..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/10/1997)
