Saying there was a "lack of analysis... [and] sophistication" really isn't helpful in the slightest. Saying "I think you overlooked X, Y, or Z" would be constructive.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

So how exactly does one raise a valid concern that a review reads like a bad 5th grade book report?

I'd be scared to think there are those that are much worse. Is functional illiteracy that bad?
