When say <dtml-var somevar>, you get the result of *executing* somevar, but
if you say <dtml-var "somevar"> you will get somevar itself.  It's somewhat
like using a single-quote in LISP, which gives you a thing literally
instead of what it stands for.

Here are several ways to get what you want:

<dtml-with child><dtml-var review></dtml-with>
<dtml-var "child.review(_.None,_)">
<dtml-var "_.render(_,child.review)">

See the DTML guide for explanations.
