- Alternate versionsA re-edit of Going All the Way (1997) was released in 2022, called Going All the Way: The Director's Edit. According to the announcement, "the new cut of the 1997 film was re-scanned for 4K and features 50 additional minutes of never-before-seen footage. A new title sequence was also created by Sergio Pinheiro, along with 50 minutes of music from composer Pete Adams." Mark Pellington says "this definitive edition of the film feels like a completely different, more character-driven and psychologically complex vision. It is a darker movie, but also far more sensitive and, ultimately, uplifting.

Ben Affleck makes the character believable
Ben Affleck always gets the girl. Reminds me of guys I ran away from. He's very pompous and over confident. His buddy seems mentally troubled. It's two young men who clearly are not interested in religion and the script makes that clear from beginning to end. Ben's character has a mother who at first you think it's his girlfriend. You wonder if his buddy is going to go after her the way he is fixated upon her. His buddy does plenty of action by himself. You wonder if he's having nightmares but the script tries to let you know it's not nightmares. The religious people are portrayed as nightmarish. Too bad the script writer has never encountered genuinely good people. Well, Ben's character is called a good person in the script.
