But there’s a palpable sense of limitation to the proceedings – it’s small, it’s cramped, and Cordero doesn’t have the visual sense to make things compel on a larger scale. The smaller scale allows “Europa Report” to focus on the humans, keeping tight focus on the claustrophobic space of the Europa 1 and eliciting splendid performances all around.
