Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 tale A Raisin in the Sun, which deals with black mobility and racial discrimination in Chicago, follows the financially-strapped South Side Younger family as they await the arrival of a $10,000 life insurance check ... and the interpersonal dramas that ensue.
Combs -- who has referred to Raisin as a "coming out" of sorts for him as an on-screen actor -- is said to be serviceable in the role of Walter Lee, Jr., but outshone by the powerhouse actresses around him.
Variety:
Marquee lure Combs was considered the weak link on stage. But while he may lack the experience and technique to project to the second balcony, he's more satisfactory -- a tad facially inexpressive, but otherwise hitting the right notes -- under the camera's intimate gaze.
Just in case you missed it, here's the trailer.
