Jessica Chastain vs Jennifer Lawrence
Who edges out who for you. I enjoyed both SLP and ZDT immensely. I don't know if each is hitting their peak if you can call it.

Chastain is 35, so she'll be relegated to "mother" roles within the next year or two. Lawrence is only 22, so she still has a few years left as a leading lady.

Lawrence is hotter and a decent actress at that. I like Chastain, but i saw her on Letterman recently and she comes across as the new Julia Roberts. In my world, thats a terrible thing.

I've seen Chastain in one movie (TREE OF LIFE) and she made no impression on me. I have yet to see any Lawrence movie, but I've seen her in interviews and read interviews with her and I find her thoroughly enchanting, so I voted Lawrence.

Lawrence because of her versatility.
At the age of 22 she can do drama, comedy, action. She has 2 Oscar Noms by the age of 22, AND she is the cover girl for the next 2-4 years for the Hunger Games franchise.

I think both are a bit overrated as far as acting, but between the two I prefer Lawrence for both acting and hottness.

They're both wonderful. Lawrence gets more exposure because she's younger. Chastain is pulling in more prestige roles. I imagine she'll begin a string of mainstream roles soon in light romantic fare or dramedies with a big cast to help garner her some hefty paychecks.
Lawrence has the right idea. Latch on to a big franchise and do some indies on the side.

Jennifer Lawrence. Then again, I've never seen anything with Jessica Chastain and I find Jennifer Lawrence more physically attractive, so let that determine the worth of my opinion on this.

I love Jennifer Lawrence but these two movies, these two roles, these two performances, Chastain wins.

Re: Jessica Chastain vs Jennifer Lawrence
I've seen Chastain in a lot of movies by now (I swear to god she seems to be cast in everything), and she's never impressed me. Also, other than in Mama (seriously, she's cast in everything), I also haven't found her attractive. So Lawrence would win by default.
But, on top of that, Lawrence is both very good looking AND has impressed me with two of her performances (Winter's Bone and Silver Linings Playbook), so she wins by more then default.
