Así del precipicio

Crap, crap, crap... I saw this movie because it promised a good work, (or so was the campaign).

But what i found was a fistful of clichés, bad acting, bad timing, bad direction, bad use of a could be good plot, bad edition, etc.

The vision of the excess is very simplistic.

It pretends to be controversial putting some nudes around here, some drug abusing there, some violence there, but all that is gratuitous.

But the worse of all is its pretentiousness, it pretends to be a "not for the weak of hearth" movie, it pretends to give us a moral, but worse of all, it pretends to be a movie.

It is so bad that even the involuntary humor is bad.

It's a shame that Mexican cinema nowadays is very poor, both in quantity and quality.

To the reviewer who said this was an accurate depiction of drug and alcohol addiction - WRONG! First of all, one character quits cocaine and alcohol cold turkey and has NO withdrawal symptoms. In real life, she'd have severe diarrhea, sweats, shaking, migraines, weight gain, etc. Instead, she just goes on her merry way and everyone tells her how great she looks "Have you lost weight?" they ask. When she shoots a man, her father "arranges" everything and she does not get in trouble for it. This is so far from reality it's absurd! Furthermore, the acting is terrible, the writing awful, the timing bad, the character development shallow . . .even the green screen effects were poorly done. I'd say Teresa has a long way to go, if she can even get funding for another film!

Regarding the comment below mine-- just because Mexico is an underdeveloped country, does that mean all movies must be about poverty? There is, obviously, a Mexican upper-class. As a student I lived with many Mexicans (who were from wealthy families) and they reminded me of some of the characters in the movie, especially with their careless use of cocaine. Regardless of how "realistic" this movie is-- I have no idea-- it is a bit funny, and satirical view of a few friends "on the edge." So I don't think this director should be criticized, at all, for making a movie involving the upper-class and cocaine. As for the movie- I found it to be entertaining, I had no idea what would happen next. At times I wondered, where is this all going? It didn't seem to have a very clear theme, but I recommend it to anyone who can stand a few very graphic sex scenes.

This movie is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. The script is really bad, from the plot developing to the dialoges. The so called shocking situations (The sex scenes and gay situations) don't serve to the story at all, it's obvious that the reason of that scenes is to cause controversy to fill the movie theaters, which is a shame, cause in Mexico is a lot of talent (i can't believe this piece of crap is financed by the government). Anyway, the actors don't help too much, they act like a soap opera, you simply can't believe a thing to any of them, they are fake, unidimensional, and predictable... The director of this film really have a copy of requiem on the set (just listen the music score), brokeback mountain and ameliè (for the initial scene), sadly she is far away to be Darren Aron's. I really waste my time and my money. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE PLEASE... IS Really BAD..

I just saw the movie and I have to say that it is the most grotesque, bad and raunchy movie I've ever seen. They try to shock the audience with their sex scenes, the drug abuse and violence. It is just so cliché. The acting is horrible, the theme is absurd, they drive it to the extreme and cannot get their point through, just to say that there was a point because I did not see one. They try to show the life of three "upper class" Mexican women, that have this life that has no line... It is just sad to see that this is the only thing that Mexican films have to offer, use of bad words, 'controversial' themes, and nudity. I just have to say that I lost 2 hours of my Thursday. Hated it!!!
