Sulphur and White

Growing up in South Africa, a young boy encountered sexual abuse and when moving to England has to deal with a pressurised job in the stock market, a new life and a new born baby, with all of the terrors of his childhood to deal with throughout! Much better than the 4.9 rating 8 is more a true reflection in my humble opinion .

This movie is underrated !!!

It's a shocking and a reviewer wrote disturbing but unfortunately real one The movie is realistic, the acting (oh it's so good), storyline and direction was good and decently done Worth's watching... oh definitely.

This isn't a movie for people who have barely survived abuse (of any kind) who have not also experienced at least some resolution to their grief. It's too intense for that. The story moves along slowly, with migraine-inducing depictions of the pressure cooker environment of trading. The scenes that are purely human interaction are not particularly satisfying, neither in content nor in execution, no doubt a purposeful choice of the director, and it is clear to the audience that there is something profoundly wrong with Mr. Tait; it is painful to watch him suffer not only in the flashback scenes but in the present, too. Much is revealed and some is resolved at the end of the movie. There is a touching interaction between Mr. Tait and a young South African doctor who tells him something revelatory. What this doctor says is as much for David Tait as it is for all who have suffered and who believe there is no love for them in the world because they have been told, falsely, they do not deserve it. The dysfunction, abuse in several forms and the behaviors of the people who would have you believe they are normal are all delivered with truth and realism.

Compelling and stifling - At times, I felt as though there was no air in the room. The writing is phenomenal, and casting was spot on superb.

I wanted to reach out and save both David the child, and David the adult. This film is so beautifully written, and deeply moving. David, a vacant entity, moves through life without any real connection to anyone or anything, except his need to cleanse himself, as though what happened was somehow his doing.

Filmed intelligently by creating a different visual nuance for every scene, every character, every mood, and every sin.

Spectacular.

Sulphur and White tells the true story of high-flying city trader David Tait. This is the emotional cost and redemption of a broken man. The depiction of life in the turbulent City had a a ring of truth to it, and the horrifying abuse scenes are managed with sensitivity.
