Sulphur and White

As a elementary school psychologist, I cannot tell you how much abuse I see and just how much it breaks my heart to see kids who are powerless go through the trauma in their life and somehow find a way to persevere and keep going! But these traumas arise later in life and cause a great deal of problems as adults become parents and are married or in relationships. We so often learn to run from our feelings, especially us men, pretending like we don't cry when no ones looking, and acting numb, when honestly we are hurting horribly on the inside. I was fortunate to be raised by a father who always encouraged me to speak my feelings and to not run from the pain I am dealing with. What made that special is my father was a successful surgeon, so it wasn't like I could rationalize my father into being some weak person that was feminine. As I got older, I realized my journey was to help others with the subject that this movie details in such a deep and profound way. So many broken marriages, so many broken men and women, marrying each other without really knowing each other. So much neglected trauma and pain. All of it bottled up has got to mean it will explode at some point. We are reaching a point in our existence were we can no longer run from these traumas that we hold in the darkness within our conscious and unconscious minds. We have become our own worst enemy and I am seeing the biggest detriment it is having, our kids. The second leading cause of death in our young adults in America 15-24 is suicide. Our kids are more likely to die from their own hands. We have got to break the chain, because our kids are hurting, our kids are our LEGACY!

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.

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.

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.

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.
