Quentin Tarantino Announces His Final Film ‘The Movie Critic’

Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino is announcing his final film, which will be titled The Movie Critic. He is set to write, direct, and produce the flick, which should begin filming later in 2023.

While details about the project are limited. Sources are saying it will be set in Los Angeles in the late 1970s. And the story will center around a female lead. It’s also noted that it could possibly focus on the movie critic Pauline Kael, who is one of the most influential movie critics of all time.

Kael, who fought with both editors and filmmakers, was known for her combative approach. And in the late 1970s, she briefly worked as a consultant for Paramount at the request of Warren Beatty.

The timing of her job at Paramount seems to coincide with the timing and setting of Tarantino’s script.

Additionally, Tarantino is known to have a deep admiration for Kael, which adds to the likelihood that she may be the focus of the film.

Quentin Tarantino’s Final Film & Retirement

When it comes to Tarantino’s retirement, he has repeatedly said that his tenth movie would be his last. And he’s also noted that he wants to go out in style. 

Tarantino, 59, has repeatedly insisted that he will retire after making his tenth feature film and is determined to go out in style.

“I’ve been doing it for a long time; I’ve been doing it for 30 years. And it’s time to wrap up the show. I’m an entertainer. I want to leave you wanting more,” Tarantino said.

For fans doing the math on Tarantino’s movies, it’s important to note that the director counts the two Kill Bill movies as a single film.

“I don’t want to become this old man who’s out of touch when, already, I’m feeling a bit like an old man out of touch when it comes to the current movies that are out right now,” Tarantino adds. “And that’s what happens — that’s exactly what happens.”
