Every Quentin Tarantino Film Ranked, According to Metacritic
For the past several years, the dialogue surrounding filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s career has been about his planned exit from it. He wants to end on a strong note and leave the audience wanting more. And as such, Tarantino has insisted, numerous times, that his 10th directed film will be his last.
Back when he first said this a little over a decade ago, it didn’t mean much. He was only on his seventh film (he considers Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 to be a single film), and he usually takes five or more years between projects. But now here we are, nine films deep into the man’s career, and we have one film left before he reaches his self-imposed limit.
In early 2024, Variety reported that Tarantino’s 10th film would be The Movie Critic, based partly on the career of famed critic Pauline Kael. In April 2024, the film had reportedly been shelved. Whatever takes its place as Tarantino’s final word will be subject to the same sort of hype and pressure.
For this list, we included two feature films that he wrote (or co-wrote) but did not direct: True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn. We omitted one short film that he wrote and directed, but was part of a larger anthology called Four Rooms: “The Man From Hollywood.”
However you feel about Tarantino’s 10-film approach, one thing is certain: The man rarely misses. Here is every Quentin Tarantino film ranked, according to Metacritic.
