Leslie Felperin, Variety: Kim Ki-duk's latest is a gloriously off-the-charts study in perversity. Read more

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club: When it comes down to it, this a movie where the only major female characters are intentionally interchangeable and exist only to castrate men. Read more

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: [Moebius] would be easy to dismiss if Kim weren't so sincere and sober in pursuit of his Oedipal and other emotional concerns. Read more

Laremy Legel, Film.com: Profoundly difficult to stomach. Read more

Clarence Tsui, Hollywood Reporter: What undermines Moebius is how Kim has let high concepts and philosophical subtexts run amok without anchoring them to a substantial narrative. Read more

Nicolas Rapold, New York Times: It's one from the heart, and a twisted tale it is. Read more

Sherilyn Connelly, Village Voice: Moebius is almost weird enough to be a creation myth, and that's no small accomplishment. Read more
