If you pirate a movie, watch it, and talk about it but don't distribute it then yes that's fair use. People literally do this all the time.

What? No. Piracy is illegal.

Fair Use is largely about reproduction (how much of a work you are allowed to copy and use, and for what purpose). It doesn’t deal with the legality of getting the work in the first place.
