Movies That Mattered

More Reviews from a Transformative Decade

Dave Kehr

Performing Arts / Film / History & Criticism

This new collection of essays and reviews from “one of the most gifted film critics in America” offers rare insight into the cinema of the 1970s and 80s (Roger Ebert).

Following the first collection of Dave Kehr’s criticism, When Movies Mattered, this volume features fifty more reviews and essays drawn from the archives of both the Chicago Reader and Chicago magazine from 1974 to 1986. This collection offers in-depth analyses of films that are among Kehr’s favorites, from the sobering Holocaust documentary Shoah to the raucous comedy Used Cars. But fans of Kehr’s work will be just as taken by his dissections of critically acclaimed films he found disappointing, including The Shining, Apocalypse Now, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Whether you’re a long-time reader or just discovering Dave Kehr, the insights in Movies That Mattered will enhance your appreciation of the movies you already love—and may even make you think twice about one or two you hated.
