For more than ten years, Quentin Tarantino had been toying with the idea of hanging up his director's hat after his tenth movie, fearing a potential dip in quality over time. He was determined to exit the stage while still riding high, believing that like fine wine, directors do not always get better with age. His latest project, initially rumored to be a homage to 1970s Los Angeles with a focus on a female protagonist inspired by the legendary Pauline Kael, took an unexpected turn.

As whispers turned into concrete details, it was revealed to be his third rendezvous with Brad Pitt, alongside talks of Tom Cruise also joining the cast. Tarantino's resolve to wrap up his directorial journey after ten films stemmed from a desire to keep the audience wanting more and to maintain a standard of excellence. Despite the initial buzz surrounding a different storyline, The Movie Critic emerged as the canvas for Tarantino and Pitt's latest artistic fusion.
