He had clout when he wrote for the Herald Tribune and his first season at the Times. Then he switched to reviewing on Sundays and his clout seemed much less. Example: He loved Moonchildren, and it closed the weekend after his review appeared. Admittedly, Barnes liked Moonchildren a lot, too, and that doesn't seem to have helped much at the box office. You just can't make people see something that they don't want to see.

Still, I think it's pretty clear that Kerr's clout lessened after he switched to Sundays.
