What is 'quality' film?
When we talk about 'quality' film roles, we usually mean parts in movies that are critically acclaimed, thought-provoking, or artistically significant. The story mentions Robert De Niro's work with Martin Scorsese as an example of this, contrasting it with the 'forgettable' straight-to-streaming roles he's now taking.
