10 Most Anticipated Films At Cannes 2016

4. Money Monster

Playing: Out Of Competition

What Is It? George Clooney is the host of a financial show that becomes the target of terrorist Jack O'Connell, who lost all his money in the crash. Julia Roberts is in the production booth has to shepherd the situation as tensions mount. Oh, and Jodie Foster's directing. Like The Nice Guys, this is another May release that's heading to Cannes.

Why It Should Be Great: Just read that description - that's real talent in a fascinating story. This one's been on my radar for a while, and seeing it take on Cannes is definitely a further reason to be intrigued.

Politics aside, taking on the financial crisis through a thriller is an exciting promise - we don't need another desperately smart drama like The Big Short - and it seems to be aiming to make a point, not just use contemporary troubles to frame an otherwise unrelated story.
