Poorly structured L'Apparition is a film with many of the prerequisite ingredients to produce a fine piece of work, not the least of which is an intriguing set-up with a built-in opportunity for weighty social and/or ecclesiastical commentary. However, whilst the idea is sound, the execution is poor, and due to some very basic missteps, the narrative's potential profundity is rendered singularly uninteresting.

_The Apparition_ is like a boiled cheeseburger: all of the ingredients are there but the treatment it's given ruins it. The film is about a troubled journalist investigating (on behalf of the Catholic church) a young woman's claims that she witnessed a manifestation of the Virgin Mary in a field in the middle of nowhere. The story line was intriguing and all of the elements for the makings of an exciting mystery / suspense film were there. Sadly, using overly long scenes and silences with an excess of wide shots and and unnecessarily convoluted storyline, the director made cold cuts instead of a hot film.
