Funny how these two nepo babies are friends given how much they resemble each other (over and above being darker-haired white women).
It's no secret I think Johnson is about as exciting as fat-free yogurt on toast. Despite boasting a more impressive filmography between the two, she has little-to-no charisma onscreen, and needs the finesse of a gifted director to make her even remotely compelling (e.g., Guadagnino and Gyllenhaal). Keough consistently shines in supporting parts and seems to be finding more of a footing on the small screen, but even in theatrical releases like American Honey and Zola, she exhibits an energy and magnetism that Johnson constantly struggles to shit out.

Keough, and it's really not close for me. Johnson's a lot of fun when it comes to press junkets and utterly depth-charging Ellen DeGeneres's career, but I can't say I've really loved a performance of hers. If you swap her with Keough in things like Suspiria or Bad Times at the El Royale, those movies improve substantially.

I couldn't see Keough in Suspiria (feels too modern), but I think she would've nailed Johnson's role in The Lost Daughter. |

I think one of the issues I had with Johnson in Suspiria is that she felt too modern and cosmopolitan, especially considering that role requires someone of a more naive and earthier sensibility. I actually think Johnson is very good in The Lost Daughter and that is indeed the most I've liked her in anything, but yeah, Keough would've done a great job there as well. |

Because I like looking at Dakota she gets the edge.
That other one....I'll give her a 6.5, probably closer to an 8 in person.

I think Keough just has a more interesting body of work, highlights being American Honey, Zola, and Daisy Jones & the Six. I'm slowly becoming a fan of Johnson which started with her perf in Cha Cha Real Smooth, and her exquisite voiceover in last year's The Disappearance of Shere Hite was one of the things that made that doc so special, and her press tour for Madame Web was just iconic. But in terms of who has the best stuff on their resume right now... it's easily Keough for me.
