Üner achieved recognition in the works of Fatih Akın and Thomas Arslan, particularly Dealer and In July. She wrote the lyrics to "Güneşim", the main song of Im Juli. She also wrote and directed a short film in 2001 named Die Liebenden vom Hotel von Osman in which she shares the leading roles with Fatih Akın.
