The description for this movie is kind of funny: "This story about depression is also about recovery and shaking off the grip of the shadows. It's about the beauty of chance whereby the reasons for the depression are discovered and the body led to redemption" Makes it sound serious. What it's about is a woman who lost her teddy bear at childhood, and is profoundly and abjectly traumatized by the experience, all the way through all of the cinematic clichés of madness including dreams, visions, Freudian psychoanalysis, and just general creepy things coming from nowhere. With teddy bears.
However, the use of the word "cliche" above is not to say the movie itself is clichéd per se... it seems more to be joking, parodying those clichés. There still is a sense of self-seriousness behind it that's a little awkward, but I don't think it would have been much better if it had just tried to be outright silly.
