Question: How does a private pilot who was not required to 'complete flight training' during the 'review' 'log' the review flight time?
Postulation: Merely being 'directed' as to what the reviewing person - FE, PE, ATO or whatever - wants the pilot to do, and what the reviewing person says s/he wants to see along the way, is not "training". Discuss.
PS: Just saw yours, mustafagander. Does the reviewee log ICUS or Dual? What does the guidance linked by Bog Down mean?
If the instructor only directs the pilot to do the required sequences (Stalls, Steep Turns, BIF, Circuits etc etc) the candidate can do them to the required standard first try without the need for the instructor to intervene. then Candidate may log the Flight Review as ICUS, however the Instrucor is still the PIC.
If the instructor directs the pilot to do the required sequences (Stalls, Steep Turns, BIF, Circuits etc etc) and the candidate has trouble completing the sequences within the required tolerances or even just needs some instruction and help to get to the required standard the candiare has to log the flight as Dual flight, again with the instructor as PIC.
