Beautiful moving film
This is heartbreaking but a must see. Fantastic take on the era too. Music is brilliant and the acting first class. Love it.
childhood pain
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.
It's such an important movie
Perhaps to feel the pain of a child abused, as this movie has clearly accomplished, then more people will become aware of the trauma a child feels throughout their life. Shining a light on how many children are abused and never talk about. If this movie helps just one person through the mental anguish and turn for help then it was well worth it. Just. Heartbreaking.
This is such an important movie. And it was created to make you feel this child's pain and struggle as a young 10 year old. And how desperate you become when you have no one to turn to. The work he now does is a credit to him and his loving wife who helped him through his darkness.

Utterly disturbing, but needed
Why have people rated this so low due to nudity? You know it's just skin right?!
Huge admiration for David Tait - the courage it must take to bare all to someone as close as his wife is unimaginable. To then carry on sharing his story whilst working for other children - what an incredibly brave man.
I know from experience how childhood trauma can manifest in adulthood, and it's terrifying, horrendous and mind-boggling. If we can just educate kids about sharing and honesty, maybe our future adults won't be as broken as David Tait was.
Talk to your kids. Do it now. There's no shame in being honest and open. I wish I had been.

A must-see. Beautifully shot, heart-wrenching and deeply moving story
Deeply moving portrayal of a much too common reality. A must-see for all backgrounds and ages. Even more so for the fact this true story was based on the life of NSPCC Ambassador David Tait. Brilliant cinema, thank you
