Quentin Tarantino has achieved a great amount of success in the movie industry. Now, his tenth film is on its way, supposedly his final one.

Sources state that Tarantino’s next film will be titled The Movie Critic. This film will take place in the 1970s, is about film critics in some way, and will have a female lead. That is all the information given so far, and there have been no casting announcements yet. There is also no information on when filming will begin, but it seems the script is in the ending stages. This film should bring a lot of excitement, as it could be Tarantino’s last one.

For a long time, Tarantino has emphasized that he would stop making films after his tenth one. This is with his judgment that Kill Bill Vol 1 and Kill Bill Vol 2 are one movie. With that judgment, Tarantino has made nine films so far, all to great acclaim. Film fans have been waiting with bated breath for hints about film number 10, the possible final film. While there is not some information, the vagueness of this plot and concept still leaves people with many questions.

Since this film is about a movie critic and has a female lead, rumors have been floating around that The Movie Critic could be about Pauline Kael. Kael was a film critic who was especially notable in the mid-20th century. She is one of the most well-known and highly regarded movie critics of all time. Kael passed away in 2001, but her legendary film writing lives on. Tarantino’s film criticism and theory book Cinema Speculation, which came out last year, was inspired by Kael’s work. Tarantino is known for twisting around history and the stories of real people in his work, so it would not be surprising if he used Kael’s life and writing as inspiration for this project.

Tarantino’s first film was Reservoir Dogs, which came out in 1992. The film ended up with cult status and is hugely influential to filmmakers. While this film was small, it put Tarantino on the map. He followed that up with the now-classic film Pulp Fiction. This film received seven Oscar nominations as well as giving Tarantino his first Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. He has continued receiving Oscar nominations and earned his second Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Django Unchained. His most recent film was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which came out in 2019. Based on his previous accomplishments, it seems likely that The Movie Critic will be very well-crafted.

The reason that Tarantino wants to stop at ten films is that he does not want to stretch out his creativity and keep going. He wants his last movie to be great, as many directors do not end on top. He wants a completely illustrious career. That sets up high hopes for The Movie Critic. Most production companies will likely clamor to produce this film. Furthermore, many actors are likely ready to work on this movie. Whatever happens, one way or another, this film will be a hot topic of conversation.
