Dave Kehr's writing about film has garnered high praise from both readers and fellow critics. Among his admirers are some of his most influential contemporaries. Roger Ebert called Kehr one of the most gifted film critics in America. James Naremore thought he was one of the best writers on film the country as a whole has ever produced.
