Something is thrilling about watching a star come into his own, and you get to see the Stewart persona molded into near perfection here.

Next Time We Love is directed smoothly by the busy and forgotten Edward H. Griffith. Joseph Valentine shoots everything on Charles D. Hall’s colossal sets, all vividly captured on this 2K master from Kino Lorber.

Next Time We Love is fine, if only to see James Stewart before he becomes James Stewart.

Rated: 3/5

Maclean's Magazine

Both Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart are intelligent and attractive, and the picture itself is nicely and plausibly handled. But it doesn't add up somehow, and I'm afraid, it's just a lot of nonsense.

i think the story was kinda different than other movies from that era, it's kinda ahead of its time. not really my fave James Stewart's movie, but however it's worth to be watched, the ending was very good.
