"Paragon" is an original film that skillfully evokes a sense of nostalgia. It boasts impeccable direction and cinematography, revolving around the story of a man who develops a computer program capable of predicting the future. Despite the potential for the inclusion of craftsmen to feel clichéd, the film deftly avoids this pitfall, delivering a genuinely engaging narrative. The performance by the actor is commendable, and both the setting and the portrayal of the computer are impressive. The leisurely pace at which the program responds bears a striking resemblance to ChatGPT, even though this film predates its creation, making it remarkably on topic with the modern climate.

The filmmaking team demonstrates a sharp use of their tools, leaving me eagerly anticipating future works from this talented crew, and even a much-deserved feature film.

Rating: 8.1/10.
