Yes, it's possible. Gitlab has the concept of [Discussions](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/discussions/) (either single comments or discussion threads), which you can have on a variety of development items/activities, including the code itself (in which case they effectively are code reviews):

But note that only merge request discussions are presently considered [resolvable](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/discussions/#resolvable-comments-and-discussions).

Even though the check for a merge request can be configured to be automated, the starting of a review/discussion itself (if/when needed) is a manual operation. From [Threaded discussions](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/discussions/#threaded-discussions):
