Question: Can I use a photo of the Marie Antoinette poster on my public blog? Does this fall under fair use?
It's not on a commercial site, and I'm critiquing part of the movie.
Answer: I would say no, because your commentary is on the movie rather than on the poster. It thus would not fall under the copyright law's fair use exception: when the use is to comment upon, criticize or parody the copyrighted work.
As a practical matter, there would be a PR nightmare if the copyright owner sued a reviewer for this.
Advice: Follow the law, don't take chances.
