Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Glossing over such inconvenient facts as out-of-wedlock fatherhood, this unabashed encomium skimps on complexity and insight in the name of veneration.
– Sheri Linden,
Los Angeles Times,

rotten:
Lula, Son of Brazil is proof that even charismatic political figures, in this case, Brazil's former president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, can be felled by the requirements of the standard biopic genre.
– Peter Rainer,
Christian Science Monitor,

rotten:
With its $5 million budget, "Lula'' is said to be Brazil's most expensive movie yet. It's a shame the money wasn't better spent.
– V.A. Musetto,

rotten:
Long on hero worship and woefully short on insight, Lula: Son of Brazil oozes good intentions, but it wouldn't look out of place in a retrospective of early Soviet workerist cinema.
– Ella Taylor,

fresh:
A conventional, rather shallow up-by-your-bootstraps drama, but with a difference.
