'The Resort': Five Perfect Minutes and Countless Missed Opportunities
The Resort has an excellent climax surrounded by disappointments. Somehow, at a mere 75 minutes, this movie still manages to be 70 minutes too long.
Queen of Soca
Olivia, a singer from the slums of Trinidad, uses her talent to escape an impoverished life despite her religious mother’s determination to stop her from getting involved in soca music. As a track she records goes viral, Olivia is invited to participate in “The Greatest Show on Earth” (the biggest soca competition in the country). Will she be able to rise to the occasion and take the title from the reigning queen?

As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.
