[Moebius] would be easy to dismiss if Kim weren't so sincere and sober in pursuit of his Oedipal and other emotional concerns.

| Aug 21, 2014

Even by Kim's extreme standards, Moebius maintains such a pitbull hold on its straight-world targets that it enters a shadowy realm of post-subversion.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2014

It's one from the heart, and a twisted tale it is.

| Aug 14, 2014

Such is Kim's plotty momentum that the whole thing feels like an extreme joke made of pained silences, one that somehow strips bare the subtext of overbearing parents.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2014

When it comes down to it, this a movie where the only major female characters are intentionally interchangeable and exist only to castrate men.

| Original Score: C | Aug 14, 2014

A kind of silent opera in which the actors' precise facial emoting and a muscular editing rhythm create a melodrama by turns horrific and hilarious.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 11, 2014

There's mischievous humour here - and, oddly, grace, right up to the enigmatic Buddhist sign-off.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2014

Moebius gains full marks in the "hard-to-stomach" category for bonkers Korean auteur Kim Ki Duk.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 8, 2014

Even Oedipus would be left scratching his head by this bonkers but drily funny tale of one family's forlorn search for normality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2014

Moebius is almost weird enough to be a creation myth, and that's no small accomplishment.

| Aug 7, 2014

Feels dashed-off, but at least there's a boldness at play.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2014

As an exercise in unrelenting discomfort, it's hard to beat this monstrous experiment from Korean provocateur Kim Ki-duk.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 5, 2014

Kim uses provocation through extreme imagery to satirical ends. He wants you to squirm, be uncomfortable, and even laugh at the insanity of what's happening on the screen.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 1, 2014

"Moebius" makes its freakish images so credible it demands the silent treatment, since its vulgar ingredients practically defy verbal limitations.

| Original Score: b+ | Sep 14, 2013

Profoundly difficult to stomach.

| Original Score: 2.8/10 | Sep 10, 2013

What undermines Moebius is how Kim has let high concepts and philosophical subtexts run amok without anchoring them to a substantial narrative.

| Sep 8, 2013

Kim Ki-duk's latest is a gloriously off-the-charts study in perversity.

| Sep 8, 2013

Moebius is sordid, yet-need I say it?-never dull.

| Sep 8, 2013

While it feels odd at first, the film's wordlessness fits its premise perfectly. There is a primal nastiness going on here that language would somehow dilute.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2013
