You need to show the parent view not the child one, so the action should look like:

[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult SubmitReview(ChildViewModel model)
    {
             var parentViewModel = write init code here;
            parentViewModel.ChildModel = model;

        if (ModelState.IsValid )
        {

            return View("Index", parentViewModel );
        }

        ModelState.AddModelError("", "Some Error.");
        return View("Index", parentViewModel );
    }
