An idea that springs to mind for me is a partial fill approach - "I give this movie three and a half stars" - although circles might be more appropriate. If you have the ability in what you're developing, you could indicate the proportion selected by turning it into a mini pie-chart with colour differentiators for completely selected or completely unselected (a traffic light esque thing, perhaps) That might be overkill for what you're doing, though....
