Provided are an optical film that can be manufactured easily and inexpensively, and that does not cause coloration of black display even when observed obliquely, enables high display quality, and a polarizing plate and a liquid crystal display device using the optical film. The optical film of the present invention contains a compound represented by the following general formula (I) and an Rth reducing agent. Formula (I) [Chemical 1] In general formula (I), L 1 and L 2 each independently represents a single bond or a divalent linking group, A 1 and A 2 are groups independently selected from —O—, —NR— (wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a substituent), —S—, —CO—, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 each independently represent a substituent, n represents an integer of 0 to 2.
