What does 'judicial revue' mean?
Judicial Review is when a court, in hearing a case, considers whether the law that applies is valid or consistent with overarching legal requirements. For example, the US Supreme Court once applied Judicial Review to assess the law establishing a national income tax and found that the Constitution (the supreme law of the land) did not permit the Congress to establish such a tax. Therefore the law was null and void, and unenforceable. A Constitutional Amendment was then passed, that permitted the establishment of a national income tax. After than, any judicial review would find that the Congress had been empowered to create such a tax.

Can judicial review not be granted?
Judicial review is the power of the judiciary branch to invalidate laws made by the legislative and/or executive branch. It's generally explicitly granted by a provision in the country's constitution. It's possible to write a constitution which does not grant the judiciary branch this power, but doing so eliminates part of the "checks and balances" that are common in constitutional governments. If you mean discretionary review (review of the results of a case in a lower court), at least in the US the Supreme Court is not required to hear all appeals; those wishing to appeal to the Court submit a petition, and a certain number of Justices (at least four) must agree that the case merits a hearing. Only about 1% of the petitions are actually granted certiorari.
