This should answer your question:

Interestingly the post has been updated since I last looked at it
saying that approach no longer works. I'm not sure why, as it still
seems to work for me. Frew - can you elaborate?

The other method you might want to consider is using a correlated
sub-query. It's a little cleaner from a DBIx::Class viewpoint, but I
think you'd need to pull out each review column separately, so would
depend what you want to retrieve. Another excellent blog from Frew:

It allows you to do something like this (untested):

  '+columns' => {
     sue_review => $self->schema->resultset('Review')
       ->correlate('movies')
       ->search({ person => 'sue' })
       ->get_column('review_text')
       ->as_query,
  },
