I think the issue with this review is that about 1/3 of it doesn't engage with the merits (or otherwise) of the performance itself, but dwells on the author's own sense of negativity towards Perth. This negativity clouds the review "proper", that is, it makes the quality of the performance sound bad when, in fact, that is not the comment being made by the author. I'm not sure that this review was approved by a central standards administrator, but perhaps this is something Australian Stage Online could look into in future, to ensure review writing from contributors remains focussed, relevant and insightful. Unfortunately, I feel that this review does not meet these criteria. As for the anonymity of opinions issue, I think the opportunity to make comment without having to attach one's identity to it, is central to freedom of expression and brings out more honesty than would ordinarily be offered - a strength.
