Critical reception of "In Search of Moebius" was mixed, reflecting its niche appeal to fans of graphic novels and experimental animation. On IMDb, the film holds an average rating around 6.2/10, indicating a moderate but appreciative audience response. Rotten Tomatoes lacks a formal aggregated score due to limited critic reviews, but general commentary suggests praise for the film's unique visual style and the faithfulness to Jean Giraud's (Moebius) visionary artwork. Critics from animation-focused outlets lauded the film's artistic merit, noting its dreamlike sequences and the intricate design work that stands out in the indie animation landscape. However, some reviewers pointed out the film's abstract narrative might be challenging for mainstream audiences, citing a fragmented storyline and a slow pacing that could detract from engagement. Metacritic does not have an aggregated score, but individual reviews appreciate the film's ambition and visual innovation, even if the overall storytelling is perceived as less accessible. Fans of Moebius's work value the film as a visual homage, whereas general viewers might find the plot elusive.
