The first 35 years of Brazil’s popular former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, like bricks piled up: poverty, saintly mother, violent father, school, factory work, the great love, the lost love, the new love, rise as a labor leader fated for greatness. Rui Ricardo Diaz is grown-up Lula, charismatic and then bearded, and director Fábio Barreto lays the pious bricks in place reliably, though well short of Viva Zapata! or The Motorcycle Diaries. 2012. (2012) — David Elliott
