What I have tried:

<TextBlock x:Name="ReviewBlock" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,40,0,0" Width="500" Text="{Binding Review}" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Medium" Foreground="White" ></TextBlock>

.cs code is

public void ReviewReadng()
      {
          // string filePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
          var MyList = new List<string>();
          string filePath = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(System.IO.Path.Combine(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location, @"../"));
          filePath += "Reviewfile.txt";
          if (File.Exists(filePath))
          {
              // Reads file line by line
              StreamReader Textfile = new StreamReader(filePath);
              string line;

              while ((line = Textfile.ReadLine()) != null)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine(line);
                  MyList.Add(line);
              }

          }
          String Review = MyList[0];
          ReviewBlock.Text = Review;
      }

string readText = File.ReadAllText( path );
ReviewBlock.Text = readText;

File.ReadAllText Method (System.IO) | Microsoft Docs[^]

string[] readText = File.ReadAllLines(path);
foreach (string s in readText) {
   Console.WriteLine(s);
}

File.ReadAllLines Method (System.IO) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Add an Environement.NewLine to a string when you want to add a line break.
