It's weird that no one seems to talk about this, but Woody Allen is the most over rated person of all time.
Just because the characters are upper class New Yorkers and they say the word "therapy" a lot doesn't mean anything intellectual is going on

Woody Allen is the image of an intellectual for a person who reads Kafka because they know people at cocktail parties sometimes bring it up.

I always read his character as an anti-intellectual. Intellectuals are mocked in his films, as far as I recall.

He made 4 perfect films. He hasn't made a good film for around 30 years.

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY is considered a "rip off" of his work, yet it is far more complex & nuanced w. stronger characters (esp the women).

There is a gender bias to his iconic status. I mean, his work is no artistically better than SEX & THE CITY but you know, that's TV & women.
