Details About Quentin Tarantino’s Last Movie
According to The Hollywood Reporter, several reliable sources have stated that Quentin Tarantino will be directing his last movie called The Movie Critic, and he is preparing to direct it this golden season. Even though major details are kept a secret but the sources state the movie will be set in the late 1970s in Los Angeles, and it will have a female protagonist.
Based on the movie name and lead role, the sources believe that the movie will narrate the story of Pauline Kael, who was one of the most distinguished movie critics of all time. The movie critic was not only a critic but also an essayist and novelist, she has written best-seller books like 5001 Nights at the Movies, Taking It All In, and many more; sadly she died in 2011.
Pauline Kael had worked as a critic at Paramount for a brief period, and she accepted this position at the behest of Warren Beatty. Quentin Tarantino has immense respect for the Going Steady author, which makes it quite likely that the filmmaker will be showcasing the obstacles of Kael’s life to his audience.

I remember hearing years ago that he's grew up obsessed with Pauline Kael and this title and time period makes me wonder if that's his protagonist.

Many people believe that this film would do immensely well in the movies because Quentin Tarantino’s movies have an aesthetic feel to them which makes the audience they are watching retro movies. Moreover, he carefully selects the music that goes perfectly with the scene.
Is The Movie Critic Quentin Tarantino’s Last Film?
The Django Unchained filmmaker has always been vocal about his retirement, as he had a finite number of movies on him. He said that he would retire by the age of 60 or he want to end his career after directing 10 films.
Since the director has made nine films and he will turn 60 this 27th March, it is likely that the filmmaker would retire, unless he changes his mind. Moreover, in 2012 the Kill Bill director told Playboy about his philosophy why he wants to stop at a certain point, and how it would immensely affect his satisfying career.
“I want to stop at a certain point. Directors don’t get better as they get older. Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film f**ks up three good ones. I don’t want that bad, out-of-touch comedy in my filmography, the movie that makes people think, ‘Oh man, he still thinks it’s 20 years ago.’ When directors get out-of-date, it’s not pretty.”
Even though it is unsure whether the filmmaker would retire this month or not, fans should not be teary-eyed, because Tarantino has inspired millions of people by following his passion and showcasing his dreams on silver screens for 20 years. And his contribution to filmmaking would be eternal, as other filmmakers would follow the creative approach of Tarantino.
