Entity reference with self-updating list of terms

Hallo
I'm implementing a site for a small cinema.
Given a basic list of genres, I would like to use them to "tag" the movie, even adding new genres on the fly.

The solution I thought is:
List of genres = I create a Vocabulary "Genres", whose terms are the genres
Tagging the movie = in the "movie" content type I create a field "genre", type Entity Reference, widget Autocompletion (tags style), Target type = taxonomy vocabulary, entity selection = simple.
But entering a genre in the field doesn't recall terms from the vocabulary, and anyway new movie addition fails with a "There are no entities matching "thriller"" error message (thriller or any other genre you enter)

What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

Use the inline entity

Use the inline entity reference module with entity reference to allow your users to either select from existing or add new terms directly from the ref field.
