Well worth more than a 6.4 rating. I would think a minimum of a 7 at least. Rated it an 8 since it was able to hold me for a drama. Enjoyed how the authors' lives were a catalyst for the books mentioned. Yes, Elle Fanning did a great job. Her surrounding group of actors did well to convey the symbolism for the books. There seemed to be sufficient build up of supporting characters to have empathy. Found it surprisingly enjoyable and better than expected based on the reviews. Granted this is not for the blockbuster crowd. Appeal would be for a select audience for both genders. Has that much to offer.
