The Dog Who Wouldn't Be Quiet (2021) review

Neighbors approach graphic designer Sebastián (Daniel Katz) about his "lonely" and "crying" dog that's disturbing them so much (except the dog doesn't make a sound), then he takes the pooch to work where they tell him he can't bring it in, then he plays with it in the park and it dies - later on, a meteor hits Earth which makes everyone unable to stand up without oxygen tanks.  While I have no issue with trying to do "absurd comedy," I feel like it should be better planned out (and funnier) - this is entirely too random, as if Katz and co-screenwriter Gonzalo Delgado decided to be "fanciful" without any sense of direction or purpose.  The wearing of the giant astronaut-type helmets does speak to the current time - we're still experiencing a global pandemic and it seems like the air itself is toxic - but then it quickly moves away from that to brighter days.  I mean, it is the new normal after all....
