Jade Osiberu did not come to play with A Tribe Called Judah.

A group of Lagos women - pickpockets and hustlers - pull off a heist that spirals into something none of them planned for. The premise sounds simple. The execution is anything but.

Bimbo Ademoye leads an ensemble that crackles with chemistry. Each woman is distinct, layered, fully formed. The film never reduces them to a type. They are allowed to be funny and ruthless and afraid and ambitious all in the same scene.

Osiberu writes women the way women actually are - complicated, strategic, loyal to a fault, and capable of burning everything down when loyalty runs out.

The Lagos setting is not a backdrop. It is a character. The chaos and texture of the city is embedded in every frame.

Christmas 2023. Netflix. It broke records. It deserved to.

Rating: 8.5/10. Nollywood's Ocean's Eleven with more heart.
