I think it's a film that's more conceptually sad when you think about how stuck in a rut all of the characters are rather than something aiming for melodrama. The sister is the only one who decides she's had enough and gets off the island probably for good, so even then it's not entirely hopeless because the majority of why the characters are so miserable is presented as entirely their own choice.

It's too affected and comedic to really depress, unless you have personal experience with the drudgery of this kind of parochial living, then it will probably remind you of your own life enough to depress you.
