The Return of the Lost Heiress

That mother is a real piece of work

Solid revenge setup and the lead sells every emotional beat, but the forgiveness math never adds up.

The car accident scene at the start might be the laziest ever filmed, and 'a mother who can't recognize her own child' is doing all the heavy lifting. Couldn't buy in.

I'd forgive them, but I wouldn't want anything to do with them afterwards. Her life turned out so much better than it ever would have with those people raising her.

I hate what they did to her. I would not be forgiving them. At all.

Being rich doesn't excuse treating people like that. All that money can't help you when you're gone.

The mother justifying her son's bullying was where I checked out. Thank goodness the adoptive father raised her, she was spared her bio family's arrogance.

If my kid bullied classmates like this, I don't care how rich we are, what kind of mother just watches?

The birth family commits every sin imaginable for the entire runtime and the story still angles for a group hug at the end.
