review, revue

Review or review means, literally to look at again, as when studying material learned, or important points covered in a meeting, by the press, or by any other means--
Today we will review what we learned over the past two weeks.
I always like to watch the year in review special.
Review may be part of the title of a publication reporting on different events and developments--
He never misses The Saturday Review.

Review also means to offer an estimate or evaluation of something--a movie, a book, a restaurant, job performance, or something else, such as a product--
I read a review that said that movie was terrible.
If you're not sure about what to buy, look for a product review at the bottom of the page.

Revue or revue ( rhymes with review ) means a variety show, with different acts instead of a continuous story--
They have tickets to a revue on Broadway, and want to know if we'd like to go.
Each act in the revue was performed by different dancers.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The review of the new musical revue is very positive."
