- 80The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinKim rattles you with this family’s bizarre and pitiful plight, and only then, from a place of agonised discomfort, does the laughter follow, in great whoops and roars.
- 80VarietyLeslie FelperinVarietyLeslie FelperinA gloriously off-the-charts study in perversity.
- 80EmpireDavid HughesEmpireDavid HughesEven Oedipus would be left scratching his head by this bonkers but drily funny tale of one family's forlorn search for normality.
- 75RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe three entirely committed, fearless performers put through the physical and emotional motions by Kim carry a film that is the definition of “not for everyone” but Moebius works on its terms. Its twisted, Oedipal, sadomasochistic, castrated terms.
- 70Village VoiceSherilyn ConnellyVillage VoiceSherilyn ConnellyExcept for the presence of the Internet, the picture feels like a retelling of an ages-old fable. In fact, Moebius is almost weird enough to be a creation myth, and that's no small accomplishment.
- 67The PlaylistOliver LytteltonThe PlaylistOliver LytteltonA sly dark comedy that doubles as a very impressive display of wordless storytelling.
- What undermines Moebius is how Kim has let high concepts and philosophical subtexts run amok without anchoring them to a substantial narrative
