Is Kirsten Dunst the greatest actress of her generation?

She's up there. She needs more of dem great roles.

Not even the best actress with that name

Was just joking because of her name 

She's good, but nope. She wouldn't be in my top ten current actresses.

As others have said, what would you class as her generation? I'd say among actresses born in the early 80s that broke out in the 90s/early 00s she's about as good as anyone I can think of off the top of my head.

I think a lot of the trouble she has lately is she repeatedly finds herself with nothing roles that she then elevates with her ability. I think people generally tend to more readily remember the great roles.

She smokes Emma Stone, that's for sure.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but she does have three legitimately tremendous performances under her belt (Interview with the Vampire, Melancholia, Fargo) that any actress would be proud to have.

She was great in that.

Has Kirsten Dunst ever been flat out bad in a movie? She just seems like such a natural actress to me.

Are you high? Absolutely not. She hasn't given a nom-worthy performance since she was a child.
