Similar "type", career trajectory, etc. For my money, Winslet pretty handily takes it and I say this as someone who's never really been a huge fan. Her work in stuff like Heavenly Creatures, Sense an Sensibility, Jude, et al. demonstrated a raw emotional presence that I don't really see in Saoirse. The latter seems to have a stronger knack for more technical elements like accent work, voice modulation, etc., though, and is arguably more consistent overall.

I like both but Kate Winslet is the best actress of her generation and better than many actresses older than her too - apologies to everyone who loves Nicole Kidman - I like her too - but we had a poll where Kidman smoked Winslet and to me I was just like...... Anyway you have it right, she's far more alive and emotionally warmer than Saoirse who has been great but has so far seemed more a technician ........it will be great to see them team up in a few months.

I just looked up their new movie together and didn't even realize this was a thing. It'll be funny to see whose Oscar thirst will come through more strongly/desperately .

I prefer Ronan over a young Winslet, but I don't know if she's capable of what Winslet achieved in Eternal Sunshine.
You don't think Blanchett is from Winslet's generation?

I sort of don't - she has about a 7 year age gap......although that's why I said "better than many" and not all. To me Kidman is the same generation as Blanchett and Winslet is sort of something else - they always get lumped together though and I do like them all - Blanchett most of all.

Oh honey, I didn't really start liking her until I saw The Dressmaker... even Judy Davis thought she was a 'damn good actress'.
I heard she was also very good in Allen's Wonder Wheel.

Just checking, separating generations is obviously subjective and/or arbitrary.

The honest problem as I see it with Saoirse is that she peaked with her two 2007 films (don't forget I Could Never Be Your Woman, where she was amazing next to a really good Pfeiffer). Literally looked to me like possibly the most brilliant child actor in film history. She's still consistently good and reliable, but I don't see genius anymore despite all of the acclaim and nominations. Hopefully she gets back to that.

Ronan all day. Outside of Sense and Sensibility I don't really fuck with Winslet until the 2000s.

My favouite from Winslet from the 90s is her work as Ophelia in Hamlet, but I prefer a couple of performances Ronan has given to that one. So in terms of highs, Ronan takes it. Overall, it's pretty close, but I give an edge to Ronan.
