The New Republic

In We Live Again, [Anna Sten] is actually brought back to life as a person -- partly by casting, no doubt: she still seems incompetent in the higher ranges of acting, but she is a good healthy peasant type, and capable of the reactions you might expect.

Maclean's Magazine

We Live Again is a powerful, tragic, broodingly Russian picture.

Vanity Fair

The new film is a handsome and impressive tribute to its director, Rouben Mamoulian, who, apart from his predilection for nature scenes, showing young couples chasing each other through apple blossoms, really does some beautiful things in this picture.

This 19th-century costume drama was saved from its lapses by the grandiose direction of Rouben Mamoulian.

Dull, pedestrian drama starring Goldwyn's folly Anna Sten. While she isn't bad she didn't possess the star impact that is essential to carry a film. Of course it doesn't help that the screenwriters try and compress a Tolstoy story into less than an hour and a half and fail. High production values but if never seems anything else but a setbound play and not a compelling one.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
