Hill plays a finance bro with a podcast side hustle about “the culture.”
, “You People,” has this exact conversation earnestly. Its major flaw? It, like most of us, has no idea how to resolve the deep seeded racial issues it wants us to address.At first glance, “You People” appears to be a straightforward romantic comedy. Jonah Hill plays a finance bro with a podcast side hustle about “the culture,” casually bouncing around topics like Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter with his Black co-host. Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays his overbearing Jewish mother.
The couple bonds over what Hill perceives as their shared culture. Hill isn’t interested in the Jewish aspects of his identity; for him, “the culture” — which is to say Black culture — is everything. It’s where he and London connect. They wear matching sneakers and sleep in Gucci T-Shirts. He even literally calls her his “boo.” It sets the film up as not just a love story between Hill and London, but between those characters and “the culture” itself.
