Aristides moves to Santos and Lindu raises the children alone until 1952 when the family moves to Santos to meet the patriarch. As time goes on, the poor family struggles to survive with the children studying at elementary school and working as street vendors.

Lula graduates as lathe operator and gets a formal job in the industry where he purposely cuts his own finger in a press, to get retirement by disability.
Leave your thoughts about Lula, the Son of Brazil.
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenFábio Barreto's film is an act of hero worship, not a multifaceted exploration of a charismatic leader. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerLula, Son of Brazil is proof that even charismatic political figures, in this case, Brazil's former president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, can be felled by the requirements of the standard biopic genre. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonOne can only hope that this isn't the best that Brazil has to offer cinematically. |
| NPRElla TaylorLong 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. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectA resolutely apolitical biopic inspired more by "Coal Miner's Daughter" than the class struggle in Brazil. Despite this, it is still worth seeing for its commitment to the cause of the 99% in Brazil. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerBut da Silva comes across as such a nice and sensible guy that you're likely to crave the ego-driven rants or the paranoia running rampant in other political biopics |
| Slant MagazineFernando F. CroceThis insipidly inspirational biopic of the two-term Brazilian president is a safe, bourgeois vision of proletarian struggle. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonForget "Son of Brazil": This syrupy origin story/biopic on the nation's beloved reformist president, whose second term ended in 2010, should be titled Mama's Boy. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitOnly half-way through, the film loses momentum. Emotion gives way to stagey conventional pseudo-populism, with the human disappeared. |
| User ReviewJorge MTrabajo increible sobre la vida y ascendencia de Lula a la presidencia de Brasil. Su historia llena de drama es inspiradora, ademas de genuina. |
