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.

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.

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.
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 .
