"A Raisin in the Sun" is the first Sidney Poitier film that I did not enjoy. All of the actors are unnatural and too melodramatic here. The dialogue feels too scripted and bombastic with conversations taking way too long to finish, I became frustrated and impatient by the end. The only sympathetic character is the mother. Everyone else is without moorings or scruples. A highly overrated film. I understand the playwright was trying to make bold and weighty points, but it just doesn't come across as real or vital as it should. It was a challenge to sit through it all, so I can only rate this film a 4/10.
