Firefox has been my go-to browser for as long as I can remember. Sure, there have been periods where the open-source web browser suffered from bloat and security issues, but for the past five or so years, Firefox has been as rock solid a web browser as you can find. It's fast, secure, and cross-platform. But, also for as long as I can remember, Firefox has suffered from a rather frustrating issue: poor scrolling (especially on Linux). Instead of enjoying the buttery smooth scrolling you find on other browsers, it stutters…

It could go either way with Cooper Raiff, the American writer, director and star of Sundance Audience award-winner Cha Cha Real Smooth. There’s an undeniable charm to this wry tale of a directionless college leaver (Raiff) who gets a job as a bar mitzvah host and strikes up a friendship with an older woman (Dakota Johnson) and her autistic daughter. Still only 25 and already on his second feature, Raiff knows exactly what he’s doing – Cha Cha is funny, honest and shamelessly manipulative. He’s a talent to watch. He also,…

"Cha Cha Real Smooth" is now streaming on Apple TV+. The film, which tells the story of "unconventional love that brims with emotional honesty," won an Audience Award at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Fresh out of college and without a clear life path going forward, 22-year-old Andrew is stuck back at home with his family in New Jersey.

The upcoming Apple Original Films project Cha Cha Real Smooth will premiere on Apple TV+ this Friday, June 17. But that won't be the only place you can watch it — those who don't subscribe to the streaming service will be able to watch elsewhere, too. Apple often releases its big movies for short theatrical windows to give them exposure and a route into awards season. That's something that stood CODA in good stead and that's something that will surely be the hope here. From June 17, Apple has confirmed that it will be…

This amiable, flawed indie has been winding some pundits up – and yes, maybe the auteur-star has a personality that might trigger a hives breakout among a proportion of his audience. This is 25-year-old Cooper Raiff, whose microbudget debut Freshman Year (alternatively titled Shithouse) was a study in semi-articulate anxiety in the manner of the Duplass brothers. Now he gives us this indulgent relationship comedy-drama in which he himself stars as Andrew, a recent college grad whose girlfriend has airily gone off to…
