IndieWire
It's impossible to look away -- not only because the sense of anticipation is so vivid, but because there's no other way to follow the bizarre plot than keep with it. - 80
The Telegraph
Kim 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. - 80
Variety
A gloriously off-the-charts study in perversity. - 80
Empire
Even Oedipus would be left scratching his head by this bonkers but drily funny tale of one family's forlorn search for normality. - 75
RogerEbert.com
The 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. - 70
Village Voice
Except 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. - 67
The Playlist
A sly dark comedy that doubles as a very impressive display of wordless storytelling. - 50
