It is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting is terrible, the story is grotesque and pretty unreal and they try to get our attention by displaying pornographic images all the time.
There is one user who assured that it is pretty much the way it happens in Mexico. I gotta say that it certainly isn't. I've lived most of my life in Mexico City and although we have a lot of problems, it is not like we live our lives surrounded by alcohol, drugs, etc. It is a shame that this user believes that the movie shows a true side of this place.
I would never suggest anyone to watch this movie as it is pure rubbish. If you plan to see a good Mexican movie try "Innocent Voices" instead. It may not be the greatest movie ever, but at least that's truly shocking, and a piece of art, I might say.
Anyway, don't waste your time or money... "Asi del precipicio" completely sucks...

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!
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.

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!!!
Well... this is by far one of the worse movies I have seen in all my live The story is bad by itself, but the way it develops it's really really awful You can see that the people involved in the movie is trying very hard to shocks us... but please! this is pure garbage, all the characters are really stupid and predictable and they are scenes that they copy, but really copy from Requiem for a Dream... What? Do you think we don't go to the movies or what? I read that Ana De la Reguera regrets being in this movie and that she did not attend the premiere as well as the interviews... Well Good for her!!! The thing that bothers me the most is that people got money to get this film done... I think that it's better to give all this money to the poor than to throw it to the garbage sorry but it's true
