A picture is self-explanatory. I have one stationary point light with radius and enable distance field shadows & soft shadow.

And not working, all movable cube have sharp shadows.  
If I change the light to movable, yes shadow is soft but it cost performance.  
There is something that I miss? how to achieve soft shadow from a movable object?
